Chickpea Shakshuka
My favourite recipe chickpea scramble meets my other favourite kind of breakfast – shakshuka. This is so yum especially if you guys already love the chickpea scramble this just adds so much extra flavour without adding too much time, I swear! If you are new to natural born feeder you may be wondering about nutritional yeast, it’s a simple in active yeast that you can pick up in most stores/health food and supermarkets that is a great supplement to add to a vegan dish in order to give it a cheesy flavour – have I sold it to you yet? If not, it’s also pretty cheap. A tub is about €4 and it lasts months- unless you’re making chickpea scramble every day – in that case maybe just 1 month! Anyway, I hope you love this recipe and once again thanks for visiting my site J
