If I could only have one meal a day, I'd pick breakfast every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I tend to lean on the savoury side and one of my quick, but delicious, breakfast meals on the weekends is a shakshuka with some fresh bread. Shakshuka is a middle-eastern dish which uses tomatoes, onions and spices as the base with poached eggs, the perfect combination for a hearty brunch meal.
