About

Shakshuka is a classic Egyptian dish, made in so many homes with different add-ons. The eggs are gently poached in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce, with added chickpeas. Crunchy bread on the side is perfect for scooping up every last bit, while a crisp Greek village salad (horiatiki salata) adds brightness and balance. It’s colorful, filling, and satisfying.
