Vegan Shakshuka

This is a veganised version of the traditional Middle Eastern breakfast using scrambled tofu! Not only is this dish full of flavour and goodness with the aromatic tomatoes and sautéed peppers, it’s easy to make and is the perfect addition to any weekend brunch. Serve with warm sourdough to soak up the sauce, and chilli ‘oil’ made with cacao butter if you want to spice things up!
