About Shashuka

Shakshuka is a flavorful, nutritious dish originating from North African and Middle Eastern cuisines. It features poached eggs simmered in a spiced tomato-based sauce, typically enriched with onions, garlic, bell peppers, and warm spices like paprika, cumin, and chili, providing bold flavor and vibrant color. Shakshuka is high in protein from the eggs and offers a good dose of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber from the vegetables and tomatoes. These nutrients support cardiovascular health and boost immunity. Often garnished with fresh herbs, it pairs well with whole-grain bread for added fiber. However, variations including extra oil or salty cheese may increase calories and sodium content. Generally, Shakshuka is considered a wholesome, balanced meal that works for breakfast, brunch, or dinner while showcasing its rich cultural heritage.
