Tasty Breakfast Pantry Shakshuka With Beans Recipe

2 mins to read
This tasty breakfast dish is a good source of protein and complex carbohydrates to keep you going until lunch. You might be used to ordering it out at a café, but the ingredients we have used are easily found in your pantry, so why not whip it up yourself!


Using a popular pantry staple like canned legumes (think cannellini beans or red kidney beans) is an easy way to extend a dish further and also increase the protein and dietary fibre content.

Canned legumes and beans are an incredibly affordable ingredient, at roughly $1.00 a can. They also require no preparation time and are quite versatile.

When cooking with canned beans, be sure to wash them thoroughly under running water, this removes excess sodium and also helps remove certain short-chain carbohydrates that can cause digestion discomfort for some.
