The highlight of the day was as always dinner. I made this dish earlier in the slow cooker that morning and by dinner time it was ready. I feel almost embarrassed about how easy this is given how fabulous it tastes. It's just a matter of emptying some tinned beans, sauces and chorizo sausage into a slow cooker and turning it on. Just before you serve it, you turn the slow cooker up to high and then add the eggs in. It transforms into the easiest, most delicious shakshuka or breakfast/dinner egg dish you can imagine. I urge you to give this a go if you are short of time or bed bound. Mr NQN immediately requested it for another night after slurping up two bowls of it.
