​​​​​​We could quibble over its much-debated origins, however, we think it's much better to put our energy into making and of course, enjoying it.

Shakshouka is a dish of eggs poached in a full-flavored sauce of tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions. It's probably most frequently served up as a hearty weekend breakfast but up the quantities and it'll also an excellent raki table dish.
