Shakshuka

Discover the delicious Tunisian dish that has taken the world by storm – Shakshuka! This one-skillet dish features poached eggs in a tangy and spicy tomato sauce with rich aromatic herbs. Also known as shakshouka, it's a fantastic breakfast and brunch recipe that pairs perfectly with toasted butter buns.

Want to try it out for yourself? Don't worry – it's incredibly easy to make! Simply scramble eggs in a fresh, spicy tomato sauce to create a mouth-watering dish. But wait, there's more! Here are some tips to make your shakshuka even more amazing.

Start by using canned tomato slices with herbs, or fresh tomatoes and your favorite fresh herbs, like basil or parsley. Adjust the spice level to suit your taste and feel free to substitute crumbled feta cheese for the parmesan cheese. Plus, for best results, cook your shakshuka in an iron-cast skillet.

Finally, crack the eggs directly over the tomato mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Some people prefer their shakshuka eggs slightly runny or half-cooked, so feel free to experiment with cooking time.
