This dish is a perfect breakfast or brunch dish for a family and friends. This dish consists of a smooth and light tomato sauce topped with an assortment of veggies, eggs crack on top and served with a slice of bread (optional but highly suggested).
Shakshuka is a staple dish in Israel and has grown from many cultural influences. It was a popular Middle Eastern and North African dish that could possibly date back all the way to the Ottoman Empire. It is most found in Libya and Tunisia.
