I thought it might work, but not so much. And for that I am sorry. However, I enjoyed it, while the the concept of it…was.. not quite what I would have thought.

The soup was pretty good, and I think i’ve made it before, and we both had it as leftovers.

Chickpea Shakshuka

I added more smoked paprika then was called for, cause they’re always a bit lite on the spices. I was only able to get 7 eggs in the pan, which is still quite a number of eggs. It was pretty good, though I may have wanted to have the eggs a little underdone, I cooked them os directed.
