Shakshuka is a popular North African and Middle Eastern dish featuring poached eggs in a spicy tomato and pepper sauce. Believed to have originated in Tunisia, it has become a staple in Israeli and Moroccan cuisines. The dish's name is derived from the Arabic word for "mixture," reflecting its diverse flavors and ingredients. Chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized shakshuka in the West, incorporating their own unique twists. In Israel, it's a beloved breakfast option, while in Morocco, it's often enjoyed with a side of crusty bread. The key to a perfect shakshuka lies in the rich, flavorful tomato base and perfectly cooked eggs. For a unique twist, some chefs add ingredients like feta cheese or spinach. Today, some of the best versions of shakshuka can be found in Tel Aviv's bustling markets or at trendy brunch spots in New York City. Whether you're a fan of spicy flavors or simply love a hearty, satisfying breakfast, shakshuka is a must-try dish.
