This week I was browsing the internet trying to find a perfect breakfast dish. Something a little on the healthy side, easy, yet tasty. Bingo, I stumbled upon Shakshuka!
Traditionally, Shakshuka is is a staple of Tunisian, Libyan, Algerian, Moroccan, and Egyptian cuisines, traditionally served in a cast iron pan or tajine with bread to mop up the sauce. It is also popular in Israel, where it was introduced by Tunisian Jews and Maghrebi Jews, hundreds of thousands of whom immigrated to Israel during the 1950s.
It’s a stunning dish and filled with flavor. I did a little take of my own, you’ll see down in the recipe below. D and I loved this dish, to be honest, I didn’t think he would. We served ours with ripped pitas for dipping. Also, thank you to Naked Juice for sponsoring this post and providing the juice. As you can see Naked Juice comes in larger containers which is perfect for sharing amongst family and friends this holiday season.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of olive oil

How To:

Serve with warm pita breads!

YASSSSS! Oh my word, I love Shakshuka. I'm not supposed to eat eggs anymore but I make an exception and happily suffer the consequences for this dish. Now that Levant is closing (so sad, they made the best Shakshuka in town!) I'll have to try your recipe to have this at home!
