Shakshuka

Written By PFC Fitness Camp • 1 min read

Shakshuka is a popular Arabic breakfast dish comprised of poached eggs in a sauce made from tomatoes, peppers, and onions that is often spiced with cumin–similar to Purgatory Eggs.

Shakshuka means “a mixture” in Arabic. This dish is thought to have originated in Tunisia.
