Poached Eggs with Tomato, Onion and Pepper (Shakshuka)

Shakshuka is a simple, yet classic dish that can be eaten for not only breakfast, but any meal of the day. Some say it is said to have originated in Tunisia or Yemen, but this dish is popular in many parts of North Africa and Middle East. Shakshuka translates to “all mixed up” or “shaken” and the traditional version uses tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices with eggs gently poached on top.
