Smokey Eggplant Shakshuka

Smokey Eggplant Shakshuka

This is the perfect weekend brunch recipe (but can be eaten at any time really). The sauce mixture can be cooked in bulk (without the egg) and frozen in single portions or to serve four. Just defrost, re-heat and add the egg for a super quick meal.
