This version of shakshuka, a Middle Eastern poached-egg dish, adds aubergine to the tomato sauce for a quick vegetable-stew base. Choose the freshest eggs possible for whites that will hold their shape and for more durable yolks. Serve with fat free yoghurt topped with dukkha powder and pomegranate, chicken mince and peas, pita bread and spiced chai. Nothing gets better than a hearty Sunday brunch with the family!!!!
