Shakshuka (pronounced shahk-SHOO-kah) has long been a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchens. Traditionally made with gently poached eggs in a rich, spiced tomato and pepper sauce, it migrated across borders and generations, adapting to local tastes while keeping its nourishing, comforting core.
Why I love it? It can be personalized to the taste of your audience. From a nutrition standpoint, it is high in protein from the eggs (and Greek yogurt) and packed with nutrients from simmered vegetables and spices, this dish is as good for you as it is beautiful to look at. It's also endlessly versatile— breakfast/ brunch, a cozy midweek lunch, or a quick, satisfying dinner. Especially when served with a slice (or two) of crusty sourdough to scoop up all flavor and goodness.
