Shaskshuka - Eggs are poached in a delicious tomato sauce, very easy to prepare, healthy, comforting, flavorful, wonderful colors, definitely a must try recipe. It is usually served for breakfast, though I think its perfect for brunch on lazy weekends. This dish is best served right away after cooking alongside some crusty bread or pita. Ingredients Makes about 4-6 servings 1 tbsp olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped 2 cans (14 oz. - 400g each) diced tomatoes 2 tbsp (30g) tomato paste 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp paprika chili flakes, to taste 1 tsp sugar salt and freshly ground black pepper 6 eggs fresh parsley/cilantro for garnish 1. Heat olive oil in a 12 inch (30cm) frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion begins to soften. Stir in garlic. 2. Add red bell pepper and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until softened 3. Stir in tomato paste and diced tomatoes and add all the spices and sugar. Season with salt and pepper and allow to simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until it starts to reduce. Adjust the seasonings according to your tastes, add more chili flakes for a spicier sauce or sugar for a sweeter one. 4. Crack the eggs over the tomato mixture, one in the middle and 5 around the edges of the pan. Cover the pan and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked. 5. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve with crusty bread or pita. Enjoy

So many ignorants in the comments fighting about which country the tchekchouka belongs, all what matter is that this is a food of poor pples who use what ever they have to make a mixture and get a nice meal, chakchak is a berber name which means mix. And yes it's north African specifically from actual Algeria Numidia in the past and of course as tunisia and morrocco were part of it they know how to do it too but to each it's specifity, the tunisians add hot sauce aka harissa and merguez. The turkish learned it too from the ottoman occupation of north africa and they add eggplant to the way you prepared it. which means you did nearly the turkish way; o. And by the way there's no such thing as Arabic countries or Arabic pples, Arabic is a language like the French and English, pples talking theses laguages aren't from the same blood line or does not have the same ancestor as many ignorants who does not know their history like to say. Grow up and learn to live with each other and stop being dumb ignorants. Salam and bon appetie.

The dish seems to be burned. At the beginnig of the video it's clearly seen that the cook can't fullt pick eggs up from the pan and there are burnt levtovers stayed on the surface of the pan. People should not just watch but think too. Use green onion and fresh tomatoes but not this sort of onion chopped this way of such big slices, eggs should be stirred and milk added so roasting would be even from the bottom to the top and not burnt. This is edible but could have been made better.

Thank you so much it was so delicious My grandma always made this for me. I used fresh tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes. I also didnt add sugar, because it already tasted really sweet maybe because of the tomatoes that I used and green bell pepper. My boyfriend couldnt stop with eating. Thanks again great recipe and you can add your own twist without messing it up.

The dish, presumed to have originated in either Yemen or Tunis, is made up of eggs cooked in tomato sauce and peppers, sometimes with onions, other herbs or cheese, and is usually served in the iron pan it was cooked in, along with some bread, which is meant for dipping in the sauce and the soft cooked-egg.

shakshouka is popular through out middle east and africa except south africa. in somalia we usually dont make it thick like this and you stir the egg so it breaks up. and also use less tomato and spices and more red african chilli. we dont usually call it shakshouka though, we call dalac bilash.

I don't even know how I found this video, it looked so delicious that I had to make it myself, and I'm addicted to it now Oddly enough after finding it, I started seeing it in a lot of TV cooking shows, on magazine covers, etc. It seems to be the dish of the moment.

Heres a thought. Tomatoes werent introduced in Middle East until the 18th century. They were, however, introduced to the Iberian Peninsula in the 16th century. Its quite possible that the dish originated in Spain and went to the Middle East and North African regions.

Looks delicious. Dont know what the sugar is supposed to be good for, though, since tomatoes and sauteed onions already have a sweetness to them. Bet it also tastes great without. BTW the poppy seed bread rolls look very German.

I just made this - my goodness it is delicious, thank you. I tweaked it a bit though by adding turmeric and feta cheese and substituting Aleppo chili pepper for the chili flakes. I also used fresh diced tomatoes, not canned.
