On a recent trip to Morocco, I had shakshuka for breakfast and the chef used so much cumin (which I love) so it inspired me to whip this up! Shakshuka is one of my go-to-brunch recipes! I assure you, it will leave your mouth watering and wanting seconds. The flavors are really rich and I used a bit of cumin in it just like in Morocco. 😉
