This dazzling dish, created by the super talented Dianne Wenz, is called “White Bean Shakshuka.” Shakshuska is a Mediterranean dish that consists of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, peppers, and onion. Dianne has veganized it using tofu!  

This tasty recipe is from Dianne’s fabulous book: The Big Book of Vegan Cooking!

Shakshuska is often served for breakfast, but it’s a dinner dish in some countries. Dianne suggests to serve it as is, or with cooked rice or roasted potatoes. Thank you, Dianne!
