Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a popular Middle Eastern and North African dish that has gained widespread popularity across the world. The origin of this flavorful and nutritious meal can be traced back to the North African country of Tunisia, where it was initially a breakfast staple.

Shakshuka was brought to Israel by Tunisian Jews who immigrated during the 1950s and is now a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Shakshuka is a simple yet delicious dish made from tomatoes, eggs, onion, and spices.  You can easily modify the recipe to suit different tastes,  by adding herbs, cheese, or other vegetables. Serve this dish in a cast-iron skillet with hot pita bread to soak up the savory tomato sauce.

Shakshuka has become popular around the world due to its simplicity, comfort, and healthy ingredients. In recent years, it has gained popularity in Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, where it is often served in trendy brunch cafes and restaurants specializing in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Shakshuka is a true reflection of the diverse blend of ingredients and spices that are often found in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine.  Celebrate the unique and beautiful traditions of these cultures while bringing people together over a shared love of delicious food.
