Shakshouka

Shakshouka is a delectable combination of poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce. Despite its unusual name, the dish is straightforward and simple to prepare. It is typically prepared in a skillet by cooking onions, tomatoes, and spices until they form a delicious tomato sauce.

The eggs are then poached in the tomato sauce until they are done. Merguez sausage can be added to the dish as well. Shakshouka is thought to have originated in Tunisia, but the dish is well-known and popular throughout North Africa and the Middle East.

Almost every region has developed its own version of shakshouka: in Egypt, eggs are typically scrambled and served in a sandwich, whereas in Israel, it is frequently served with salty feta cheese on top. The sauce and eggs' consistency are also variable; the sauce can be thinner or thicker, and the eggs can be completely firm or soft.

Meat, most commonly sausages, can be added to the dish for a more nutritious meal. Shakshouka can be served at any time of day and is typically served warm or sizzling hot with bread on the side. The dish has recently gained popularity in both Europe and North America due to its low cost, simplicity, and ease of preparation.
