Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a Maghrebi dish. This isn't a typical Maghreb recipe. It's suped up and non-halal. You're welcome.

Oh, I've also added potatoes that act kinda' like big-ass croutons (optional), sherry (defo not halal), Wazoo (Recipe HERE optionally) and fennel seeds (optional)--just to upset people with the sheer joy and happiness of flavour. So yeah, the end result here is something that is actually better than waking up with a goat's ass in your face.

Serve with a course bread (optional) and ENJOY (optional)!
