Vegan Shakshuka


Tomato season is around the corner, yay! It’s time for one of my absolute favorites: Shakshuka. This Middle Eastern dish is originally with sunny side eggs, but I veganized it by using creamy seasoned tofu. Let me know what you think. We love it!

  • 2 Tbsp vegan butter (I used Olivani)
