But seriously you gotta try this one. I know everyone has access to shakshuka at their nearest cafe. But I often find that they’re just not as good as they can be. It’s about development of flavors, the right spice blend, not using watery tomato sauce. There’s so many factors that go into making it right. I think I’ve figured out the perfect blend of everything. It took me a while to get here, but through these many lockdowns, I’ve done my fair share of testing. This one turns out on point every time. It’s turned me into a shakshuka snob and it’s turned a lot of my family and friends in to shakshuka snobs as well. No longer can we just go to our local cafe for a shakshuka. Now we make our own at home. And now we most definitely always enjoy.

Now that restaurants are only open for takeout here in Israel, thought it would be the perfect time to share this recipe. Because let’s be honest…bringing shakshuka home in a box is just not the same as freshly cooked shakshuka. Makes for a lovely breakfast or lunch with your spouse if the two of you are working from home these days. Honestly I even make it for dinner sometimes. Ok enough talk. Please try this one. I really think you’ll be hooked.
