Outdoor Shakshuka

Discover the flavors of Outdoor Shakshuka, a savory Middle Eastern breakfast, perfect for enjoying al fresco with eggs, tomatoes, and Aleppo pepper. The idea of cooking outdoors struck me on a bright morning while our house was under renovation, and I wanted to treat the hardworking crew to a delicious meal. Sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil and pairing them with spicy green chilies and creamy feta takes this dish over the top!
