Merguez Shakshuka

When making shakshuka, it's always best to do it with others. It's such a rich, indulgent, and hearty breakfast that it's too much for one person to handle alone. So, whenever I gather with friends for breakfast, I enthusiastically suggest making shakshuka for everyone. This time, I decided to spice up my shakshuka game by adding some merguez sausages. It was such a great choice! The sausages work so well with the sauce and spices, and when topped with tahini and herbs, it’s perfection. You don't need anything else!
