What is Shakshuka?
A simple sauce of red peppers, onions, and tomatoes is seasoned with some of our favorite spices and cooked until thickened. Wells are created in the sauce and filled with eggs which are baked just until set (with jammy yolks). Absolute perfection. There are many versions of Shakshuka and this one is based on a favorite at a local eatery (and slightly adapted from a favorite cookbook). Shakshuka means “all mixed up” and honestly a breakfast favorite around here.
Ingredients
We love this basic recipe. Poached eggs in a rich tomato sauce with bell peppers. A variety of seasonings give shakshuka its signature flavor. VEGGIE SAUCE Tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic are all poached to heavenly goodness in the sauce. Canned tomatoes are not only easy but they have a rich zesty flavor that adds to the sauce. About the tomatoes: I prefer the texture of whole canned tomatoes over diced, the sauce seems to thicken a bit better although either will work. If you have fresh tomatoes, they can be peeled and added in as well. TOPPINGS Once baked, sprinkle with your favorite toppings from feta cheese, to fresh herbs or chives or green onions, and top with a scoop or two of sour cream! Serve over roast potatoes or with toast for dipping and sopping up all of the sauce.
