Honey Hi’s Shakshuka Recipe

We, along with everyone else in LA, are absolutely obsessed with Honey Hi. It’s the food we’re hoping God is serving in her cafeteria. The Honey Hi ladies go out of their way to exclusively deliver the best ingredients available (legit product pioneers) without any of the elitism that can sometimes permeate the atmosphere of health-forward establishments. The vibe at Honey Hi is so good it feels like home -- even for a mid-western expat (a’ la myself).  They shared their take on shakshuka, a classic Middle Eastern dish, which we devoured in 0 to 60.
