Shakshuka is a dish made of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, olive oil, peppers, onion, and garlic, commonly spiced with cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Shakshuka originates in the Middle East and North Africa. This recipe makes for a nourishing, filling breakfast, and one recipe that you’ll make time and again (plus, it’s easy on the budget). Traditionally, Shakshuka uses tomatoes, but this recipe incorporates baked beans and is topped with a feta or goat’s cheese for that extra yum. Pair it with a slice of fresh sourdough from the Food Lover’s bakery.
