D-1 before the week end

It is already Wednesday night and it means only one little day is missing before the week-end ! What are your plans for this one ? It is way too hot to go to the beach... maybe a quiet day by the pool at home and a late sleep if the kids are leaving you alone (or your boss for some of you)...

But before dropping everything and switch off you phone you should definitely do grocery for a nice family/friends brunch over the week end. You only need some yummy fresh fruits (in summer you have the choice), some good bread and some eggs !

A brunch would not be a brunch without some eggs but I would like to share with you a different recipe, just to vary from the traditional scramble or Benedicts, a local recipe of the region full of flavour and super filling : the Shakshouka. It consists on some eggs poached in a sauce made out of tomatoes, green chili peppers, onions and spices (cumin and paprika) and is typical from North Africa and Levant. Just follow the recipe to bring your traditional week-end eggs to the south costs of the Mediterranean sea.

- 4 Organic eggs

- 2/3 green chili peppers (japanelos)
