There are times when a home-cook and even the most skilled culinary chefs take enormous delight in creating something super simple to make and not just overly complex recipes, that are still equally as delicious.
My Easy Shakshuka is a classic example of a non complicated but tasty dish created in the spur of my morning and by using only immediate ingredients at hand.
So what is Shakshuka anyway? It’s a popular Arabic or Meghrebi dish consisting of poached eggs cooked in a tomato sauce with onions, peppers, garlic and seasoned with a host of spices such as cumin, cayenne, paprika and a possibly a few others.
Shakshuka has been enjoyed in several Middle Eastern countries for several decades now and more recently in America.
