Here is another Molly Yeh inspired recipe. Shakshuka. It is a Middle Eastern vegetarian recipe, in particular known within the Jewish Community and eaten as Sabbath meal. In North American, it has become known as part of a brunch dish and gained even more attention through Molly Yeh’s TV show on the Food Network. That’s where I heard of it for the first time, and since then I have cooked it over and over again as a lunch for 1 – just for myself. I eat it right out of the frying pan. It quick and easy and tasty with a slightly exotic note.
