Curry Pumpkin Shakshuka

Brunch should have no time limit. I would die happy eating brunch for 3 meals daily – from avocado toast to pancakes, brunch is where it’s at. Especially if you’re making this curry pumpkin shakshuka.

Curry Pumpkin with Poached Eggs

Whenever I go out brunch, I (almost) always choose the shakshuka. Spiced tomatoes surrounding gently poached, runny eggs with a side of crunchy sourdough… YUM. But I think it is about time that shakshuka got a makeover. I’m not just talking about throwing in some aubergine or feta cheese, let’s SPICE IT UP with this curry shakshuka.

Fragrant curry spices are cooked with onion and garlic to release their flavour before pumpkin and cherry tomatoes join the pan. Eggs are perfectly poached in the juices (that sounds weird, may regret that later) before serving. Be careful not to overcook that precious yolk for some real #yolkporn action. It’s a seriously delicious way to start, continue or end the day.

If pumpkin is tricky to find, you can sub in sweet potatoes or butternut squash for equally delicious variations on this curry pumpkin shakshuka.
