About Shakshouka

Shakshouka is a flavorful, one-pan dish originating from North African and Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally enjoyed for breakfast or brunch. It features poached eggs nestled in a rich, spiced tomato and bell pepper sauce, often seasoned with garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili for a warm, aromatic taste. Some versions may include onions, herbs like parsley or cilantro, and additional vegetables for variety. Shakshouka is generally low in carbohydrates and offers a good balance of protein from the eggs, along with vitamins A and C from the tomatoes and peppers. It is also a source of fiber and antioxidants. While healthy overall, its nutritional profile can vary depending on added oil, bread served alongside, or dairy such as cheese mixed in. This dish pairs nutritious ingredients with bold flavors, making it an appealing and wholesome option for a satisfying meal.
