Shakshouka is a bright and spicy one-skillet meal — a thick ragout of tomatoes and sweet peppers with runny eggs poached in the sauce. It’s traditionally served for breakfast throughout North Africa and the Middle East, but shakshouka is also a vibrant brunch dish and a warming, comforting dinner. The base of shakshouka is flexible and forgiving, thus amenable to additional ingredients and varying heat levels. Whichever way you customize it, serve shakshouka with crusty bread or couscous for soaking up the egg yolk and sauce. Once the eggs are set, remove the shakshouka from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
