Leon Grocery is expanding its frozen food offering with the launch of Sunny Shakshuka, a new range of ready-to-cook shakshuka bases designed to bring the popular brunch dish into home kitchens.

Launching in Sainsbury’s on 5 November 2026, the range comprises two varieties: Sunny Red Shakshuka and Sunny Green Shakshuka. Each 600g pack serves approximately three people and requires consumers to simply cook the base from frozen before adding eggs.

Sunny Red Shakshuka features tomatoes, red peppers and onions, seasoned with cumin, paprika, garlic and black pepper. The vegan and gluten-free recipe is also high in fibre, offering a vegetable-based option for breakfast, brunch or dinner.

Meanwhile, Sunny Green Shakshuka combines courgette, spinach, kale and red onion with basil pesto and feta. The vegetarian and gluten-free variety features vegetables as the majority of its ingredients, with feta adding a creamy element.

Both products are designed to simplify meal preparation, with the vegetables, herbs and spices already combined in a frozen base. Consumers can also customise the dishes by adding their preferred protein.

Miriam Rose, head of grocery at Leon, said: “Shakshuka is exactly the sort of food we love at Leon. It’s colourful, full of vegetables, incredibly comforting and made for sharing around the table.

“With Sunny Shakshuka, we wanted to do the hard work for you. All the vegetables, herbs and spices are already there and ready to cook from frozen, so you can just add eggs or your favourite protein and have something that feels really special without spending hours in the kitchen.”

The launch reflects Leon Grocery's focus on convenient, plant-led meals that combine flavour and vegetable-rich ingredients with simplified preparation.

Leon Grocery Sunny Red Shakshuka and Sunny Green Shakshuka will be available in Sainsbury’s from 5 November 2026, priced at £3.60 per 600g pack.
