Origin of the dish

Plenty of Mediterranean spices, electrifying green spinach, tender poached eggs, and luscious red tomato sauce is what gives shakshuka its mouth-watering look. Shakshuka can be called the Arabic version of the famous Mexican delicacy- the Huevos Rancheros. Shakshuka originates from the Middle East and parts of North Africa. It is said that the Moroccans invented the piquant tomato and egg delicacy; some say the Turkish invented it, while some say that the dish was first prepared in Yemen. However, it is not clear where the dish was invented but whoever did it really made a feast for the people- because not all superheros wear capes!

All of those mouth-watering ingredients mixed result in a vibrant, healthy, and comforting dish which can be consumed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner- convenient, isn’t it?
