Even though it's egg-centric, shakshuka is a great dish to serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If serving for breakfast and you want to prep the night before, make the tomato mixture and refrigerate. When ready to serve, heat in a large skillet before layering on Swiss chard and cracking the eggs on top.Recipe from chef Einat Admony and courtesy of Handsome Brook Farms.
