Brunch Goals Unlocked
Mornings were made for bold coffee and cozy bites ☕️🍳
Start your morning right with a pan of slow-simmered shakshuka infused with the rich, earthy depth of Grinders Cafe-Q Darkoko Coffee. The coffee softens the acidity of the tomatoes and brings out their natural sweetness, creating a sauce that feels warm, round, and deeply comforting. Perfect for slow breakfasts, lazy spring lunches, or an easy dinner shared with good bread and better company

- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 400 g can diced tomatoes (or 3–4 ripe fresh tomatoes, chopped)

To Serve
