This Middle Eastern dish seems to be popping up everywhere these days— ooding our social media feeds, gracing the pages of food maga- zines, and even making its way into the menu of my neighborhood café. This one-pan meal is pretty to look at and even more delicious to eat. Traditionally a savory breakfast, Shakshuka also makes a filling dinner for two. Make it extra special by adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or some crumbled feta on top.
DID YOU KNOW? Shakshuka is traditionally seasoned with cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Spice up your dish by adding 1⁄4 teaspoon of each of these pantry staples to the tomato sauce before adding the eggs. You can also boost the protein in this dish by adding ground beef to the sauce.
