Shakshuka with Eggplant is one of the flagship Israeli dishes that take America and the world by storm lately. Perfect for semi-vegetarian and pescetarian diets breakfast or dinner.
The base of the Shakshuka is a delicious combination of eggs and tomatoes seasoned with cumin and paprika. We are adding the eggplant to give it an amazing twist in taste and to make it a complete and satisfying meal. We use the eggplants to replace the traditional bread or pita on the side.
Another complete meal variation is the shakshuka with merguez.
