If you’ve never had Shakshuka before, you’re in for a treat.
This is a dish that originated in North Africa (Tunisia) and is prepared in one frying pan.
Shakshuka, literally means, “all mixed up.” As the name suggests, everything is combined all together in the one pan.
Which is very convenient when it comes time for clean up.
But, besides the easy clean up, this dish is totally delish.
I LOVE it!
It’s so darn easy to prepare.
The recipe calls for paprika as one of the spices, and I use smoked paprika to give it a little extra smokey flavor.
You can enjoy this dish for breakfast lunch or dinner.
Also, if you prefer a less runny egg, remember to cover it for 1-2 minutes while cooking.

- Add bell pepper and garlic, plus another dash of salt, and cook 5-7 minutes.
- Add cumin, paprika, chili powder, tomatoes, and black pepper, and cook 10 minutes.
