Shakshuka

Shakshuka - the beloved savory breakfast/brunch meal that has been making more mouths water in recent years. Sunny side-up eggs perfectly nestled in a sweet, savory, and spicy tomato and pepper stew, this dish is satisfying in so many glorious ways. And did somebody say bread? Crusty bread or pita should absolutely be present to sop up every last drop of goodness. The crazy thing about this story is that shakshuka’s magnificence doesn’t end at its flavor. Eggs and veggies create the ultimate nutritional and satiating symphony. Second crazy thing - while I’ve eaten it a bunch, I have never made this splendid dish until this very moment. Did I follow a recipe? Pshh. I pulled from all of the incredible shakshuka eating experiences that I’ve had and created my very own. It was the best one I’ve ever had. This was a good story.
