Shakshuka originated in North Africa and is enjoyed throughout most Middle Eastern countries as an easy, healthy breakfast dish, but truly, it’s delicious any time of day (breakfast-for-dinner lovers, we see you!). At its most basic, shakshuka is a mixture of tomatoes and onions cooked with plenty of spices until saucy and fragrant, then dotted with eggs and baked or simmered just until the eggs are cooked through. Simple but flavorful, shakshuka is a one-skillet meal that doesn’t require very many ingredients and can be switched up according to the veggies you have on hand. No matter how you make it, shakshuka is a yummy, hearty brunch, lunch or vegetarian dinner. Here’s how it’s done: Sauté an onion with some garlic and cumin, then stir in fresh tomatoes (use canned tomatoes if fresh aren’t in season).
