Shakshuka – Tomatoes And Eggs Recipe

Eggs are a great source of protein. A popular Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached in tomatoes is Shakshuka. It is typically served as breakfast but it can also be served as a main course for any meal of the day. It is traditionally served with a crusty bread on the side, but it is also perfect with rice. This dish is a good way for vegetarians to get their protein.

This recipe uses only fresh ingredients and has very simple steps to follow. The key is to cook the tomatoes really well. As this recipe is very basic, you may add other ingredients according to your preferences – perhaps chopped meat, more vegetables or even cheese.

Crack open eggs on top of the tomato sauce.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 2 minutes or until your desired doneness.
