"Shakshuka" is a hearty breakfast delicacy that was born in North Africa and gradually conquered the world. In Israel, the shakshuka has even become a traditional dish. In other countries, it proudly adorns the menus of popular breakfast cafes all over the world. 🥰
Shakshuka means "mixture" in Arabic. And that's what it is. It is a mixture of colourful vegetables, exotic spices and eggs. Although it is originally a breakfast dish, it serves just as well as a hearty lunch or dinner. 👌🏻
