I have seen a huge variety of "possibilities" in Shakshouka recipes. Since this dish was made in so many countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa, each locality has crafted this dish to suit its own taste. A friend of mine of Tunisian Jewish descent makes it with potatoes. My favorites, however have hot and green peppers. I highly recommend this dish spicy, and served with fresh pita bread!

This is awesome!! I was too lazy and tired to shred the tomatoes, so I cut them into chunks instead, but it still turned out great. I'm definately moving to Israel now.

I must admit that as an American I would have no idea what this is. Now that I live in Israel and I see this dish served, I decided I could try to make it. I made it for a Friday lunch for the family. I also added red pepper to the tomatoes and onions and lots of seasonings. Also I did not mix up the eggs when I dropped them in. My family ate it and it was really good and different. That must be my Israeli side!

I made this as posted, just scaled back, and was concerned it would need some additional oomph of some description — not the case. This is great! Makes a great weeknight meal with rice.
