Shakshuka is a dish of poached eggs in tomato sauce and spiced with cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper. It is a popular breakfast dish in North African and Middle Eastern. Shakshuka literally means a mixture. The authentic Shakshuka has a lot spices, like cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and chili pepper. I tried the version without these spices, which still tastes great. Thus skip the spices if you don't like or they are not available in your kitchen. Shakshuka can be served with bread as breakfast, brunch, or side dish for dinner.
