I love Middle Eastern Food and share it quite often. In fact, this is not the first time I have shared Shakshuka. I also shared up this version made with beets that was absolutely to die for!!!
I served up today's version, made with tomato sauce, as Brinner. I made up some homemade pitas and opened a bottle of wine from Cahors. It was a perfect, casual, weeknight meal.
If you like Middle Eastern food you may also want to check out these recipes. These Middle Eastern Potatoes would also be an great side dish for the Shakshuka. These Date Glazed Kebabs are one of my all time favorite. Majadara often makes an appearance on Meatless Mondays. And these Stuffed Grape Leaves are amazing.
