Shakshuka
Shakshuka is fun and easy to make as it is fun to say it. We always make a special voice for it which just makes it even more fun.
It’s an absolutely perfect dish for breakfast, lunch, or a warm supper. Spiced tomato sauce, peppers, and poached eggs topped up with fresh parsley. Super easy to make, we can even say it’s a foolproof recipe as it can’t go wrong.
In this recipe, we go for “less is more”. You can always add more toppings like olives, feta cheese, sausage. But simple is the best in my opinion and the quickest way to enjoy this dish. No complications needed. Everyday ingredients for not so ordinary breakfast.
Shakshuka is a really filling and healthy meal. You can serve it with the side of bred, coz who does not like bread soaked in tomato sauce by the end of the meal. It’s like a savory dessert or a treat if you like.
