Shakshouka is an easy, healthy breakfast (or any time of day) recipe in Israel and other parts of the Middle East and North Africa. It’s a simple combination of simmering tomatoes, onions, garlic, spices and gently poached eggs. It’s nourishing, filling and one recipe I guarantee you’ll make time and again. Beside in the city of Tel Aviv, it is surprisingly also very popular in Egypt too – so, if you ever go there – please do not miss trying this authentic recipe there! Meanwhile, make it at home (it takes less then 30 minutes to make it).
