shakshouka = eggs poached in a tomato sauce
Shakshouka kind of looks like an egg pizza, doesn’t it? The combination of eggs and fresh ripe tomatoes is refreshingly awesome. Roby and I eat this popular middle eastern dish all the time because it’s easy to make (one-pan meal) and it’s super tasty.
Shakshouka is made by poaching eggs in a spiced tomato sauce. It’s the perfect any time meal.
awesome dish for breakfast lunch or dinner
When you make this dish, start by cooking onions until they turn golden and then add garlic, serrano pepper and red bell pepper. Once that’s nice and soft, add tomatoes and simmer until the sauce is nice and thick. Spice that sauce and gently crack eggs into your skillet. If you’re trying to make the dish look fancy, crack your eggs in a bowl and then gently slide them into the skillet. This way if you’re clumsy and break a yolk, you can just use another egg (and eat the broken egg yolk egg separately). Cover your skillet until the eggs are cooked to your liking, sprinkle with a little cilantro and devour.
