29 Jul 5-ingredient shakshuka
Shakshuka, pronounced Shahk-SHOO-kah, is a simple one-skillet dish of gently poached eggs in a tasty mixture of simmering tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and garlic.
A few spices are added, and they may vary slightly from one recipe to another.
Traditional shakshuka originally came from Tunisia in North Africa, but it is quite popular in the Middle East, and you will find variations of it in Palestine, Israel and Egypt.
