FAQs

Shakshuka is believed to be from North Africa, more specifically from Tunisia. It is considered to be a staple in Libyan, Algerian and Moroccan cuisines and is a popular breakfast and brunch dish worldwide. 

Shakshuka is loaded with rich flavours, giving it a slightly sweet, rich smoky flavour. The dish is typically seasoned with spices like cumin, paprika and in some recipes harissa. Eggs are typically used to give the recipe a creamy texture, balanced with fresh herbs.

Typically, you’ll find shakshuka served with bread such as a crusty loaf or a pita. The bread is often used to soak up all the flavours of the sauce. Some people also like to serve it with a side of salad and some recipes may also even add potatoes.
