Shakshuka (also shakshouka) is a North African breakfast dish that’s widely consumed throughout the Middle East. It typically consists of poached eggs in a tomato sauce with a variety of vegetables, often including onions, peppers and cumin. But be careful! If online reviews are any indication, once you’ve had this for breakfast you may never go back to your old breakfast foods again!
