Shakshouka | Recipes


Shakshouka is a traditional Israeli dish that is one of the most loved and served dishes in Israel, but perhaps even more so by us :)

"Shakshouka (Arabicشكشوكة‎; Hebrewשקשוקה‎) (also shakshuka) is a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoeschili peppers,onions, often spiced with cumin.[1] It is believed to have a Tunisian origin.[2]"

This is one of our absolute favourite Israeli foods and Lee's mom makes it the best! I love the fact that this recipe can really be customized to suit your own personal taste. For those who enjoy chili less, don't add any or very little in the least. If you prefer it to be a little more bitter, cut down on the red pepper and add more green pepper. You can add as many eggs as you need...ratio 1 egg : 1 tomato - as you need. We've found that two eggs per person is more than enough. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have and continue to!

I've added a recipe card for you to download or print as you please.
