The name of this dish is so representative of the feeling it invokes. Eggs in purgatory, another version of the Mediterranean dish Shakshouka, are spicy, tangy and bursting with flavour. This one-pan meal is great for breakfast, an easy brunch or even a wholesome dinner. Something about the soft gooey eggs make you feel at home, and the rest of it – well, let’s leave you to find out how drool worthy it is.
