Middle East/North Africa/Israel - Shakshuka

Today, shakshuka is a famous dish around the world, but its origins are largely disputed by several Maghreb countries, Turkey and Yemen. Though we may never know where it truly came from, this wholesome eggy dish is particularly appreciated across the Middle East, North Africa and in Israel, where it's a popular choice for breakfast and dinner alike. Composed of poached eggs in a lightly stewed sauce of tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and plenty of spices, it's also seasoned with olive oil and harissa for those who like it spicy.
