The World in Egg Dishes

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a popular dish throughout the Middle East and parts of North Africa. It is believed to have been invented in Tunisia. Shakshuka is basically eggs poached in a stew made of tomatoes, chili, and onion, which is then flavored with cumin. Typically, it is served in a cast iron pan – or a tajine – along with bread to mop up the excess sauce.
