Green shakshuka recipe
This gorgeously green pot of goodness uses plant-based yogurt in place of traditional eggs for a delicious vegan dish. Za’atar is a blend of dried herbs, and it is a wonderful way to add a Middle Eastern flavour to any dish, while the combo of fresh mint, dill and parsley keeps it tasting light and clean.
