Shakshuka is a hearty and delicious North African dish from Tunisia. It consists of eggs topped in a deliciously spiced onion-tomato base. We love how easy it is to make with simple ingredients – and it’s just a one-skillet dish. Full of comforting flavors for breakfast or any meal of the day.
Serve with warm pita, chips, or your choice of bread.
