A Note from Feedfeed
You've probably seen Shakshuka on every Mediterranean brunch menu. Thoughts that come to mind are spicy harrisa, yolky eggs, tomato sauce, and crusty bread.
This version adds smokey Cajun flavors, green harissa, a briny element with Moroccan [green] olives, black olives, and artichokes. This recipe keeps the final ingredient tried and true with those yolky eggs we love. Adding flakey white fish easily takes this recipe from brunch to dinner.
