Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a delicious dish loved in Israel, as well as in other regions of the Middle East and North Africa. The combination of ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices, in which eggs are gently baked, makes it irresistible.

• Use a can of whole peeled tomatoes to save time and effort in preparation.
• To cook the eggs faster, cover the pan with a lid.
• Don't be afraid to experiment and add cheese or goat cheese for extra flavor.
• To avoid a metallic taste, do not cook in a cast iron pan; choose one made of stainless steel.

• Green shakshuka with Brussels sprouts and spinach for an alternative version.
• Orange shakshuka with pumpkin for a variety of flavors.
• Add mince or chorizo to give the dish a rich meaty flavor.
• Try different types of peppers, such as green or yellow, for a variety of colors and flavors.

• Tomatoes are a primary source of lycopene, an antioxidant associated with various health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease.
• Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and contain all essential amino acids needed by the body.
• Cumin is popular in traditional Middle Eastern medicine for its antimicrobial properties.
• Red peppers are an exceptional source of vitamin C, while spices like paprika add not only flavor but also healthy antioxidants.
