Shakshuka- a simple one pan dish; quick and easy to whip up, yet so delicious that at the end of our meal, the pan was mopped sparkling clean with our homemade pita bread! You can eat this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it is a perfect anytime meal.
From the Hebrew word leshakshek, which means 'to shake', this dish is believed to be originated from Tunisia and Israel. I had tried it in once in Marina Bay Sands and ever since then, I couldn't get that delicious taste out of my head. I am a fan of tomatoes and this dish could easily satisfy my tomato craving. And those feta cheese? It just made the dish whole lot more interesting!
Poached eggs cooked in zesty tomato sauce, lightly spiced just enough to deepen its flavor, ultimately addictive and once tried, it will surely become one of your frequent dish on the table.
