About Chakchouka

Chakchouka is a flavorful North African dish, particularly popular in Tunisian and Algerian cuisines. It consists of poached eggs nestled in a spiced tomato and pepper stew, often seasoned with onions, garlic, paprika, and cumin. This hearty meal is traditionally served with warm bread, making it a perfect option for breakfast or a light dinner. Chakchouka is packed with nutrients—its foundation of tomatoes and peppers provides a rich source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber. The eggs add high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, and beneficial fats. It's a healthy, low-calorie dish, though the overall nutritional profile can vary depending on the amount of oil used during preparation. Chakchouka is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for many diets, while being vegetarian-friendly and adaptable to different spice preferences.
