Cauliflower, Chickpeas Sausage Shakshuka


This is my go-to 30 minute quick and easy, get the food on the table right now recipe.

The inspiration for this dish is from my hubby’s North African origins and one of his favorite dish. He always asks for a sauce with any and every meal, while I rather used to dislike them. Over the years, I have experimented with his cultural recipes and have made a lot of similar versions of this well known North African Shakshuka.

What is Shakshuka?

Shakshuka basically consists of a simple tomato sauce with spices, oignons, green peppers, sometimes adding merguez (sausage) but always adding a few eggs directly in the sauce to cook on top. It can easily be a breakfast dish with toast or a quick lunch but we usually have it for dinner.

Refreshing Summer Salad & Salad Dressing

Hi wonderful you,

I have finally found my perfect go-to salad for the Summer!

About 2 months ago, while visiting my parents, I made a salad and a spur of the moment salad dressing to go with it.  Immediately, my dad commented that the salad was delicious and different from his usual dressing.  It surprised me and made me very happy as he is a typical meat and potato kind of man.  At that moment, I knew I had a winner and voilà, it became my new favorite salad.

Always trying to find ways to eat more vegetables and to have my family eat their vegetables, sometimes you have to sneak them in recipes.  Although this dip might look like a regular creamy cheesy dip, it is actually dairy-free, gluten-free and low in calorie as it mainly consist of mixing different vegetables together.
