Shakshouka/Shakshuka is a dish of poached eggs in a sauce of tomatoes with spices. It is believed to have a Tunisian origin.It is usually eaten with thick slices of toasted bread, pitas or baguettes. You can add pretty much anything you want to it, including meat. In Singapore, minced meat is often added and it’s usually more spicy. Anyways, I cooked this sometime back for some guests and they loved it. This is also perfect for Iftars during Ramadan.Before baking. . .
