OMG SHAKSHUKA!!!!!
Options
OMG you guys!!!!
I'd never in my life heard of shakshuka before. For those of you in the boat that I was in, it's basically eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, flavored with cumin (and other lovely seasonings). The origins are Jewish/Libyan, so it's got a lot of really nice North African flavors but is vegetarian. Generally, it's a breakfast dish, but I'm having it for dinner right now and OMG IT'S AMAZING!!!!
It's one of the best things I've made in a while, and I'm a pretty darn good cook![;) ;)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/wink.png)
Here's the recipe I followed: http://www.budgetbytes.com/2016/04/smoky-white-bean-shakshuka/
Here's a picture of mine!!! (With a scoop cut out of it because that's what I'm eating!!!!)![53712arlkpt9.jpg](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021879/uploads/editor/wk/53712arlkpt9.jpg)

I love this dish...and the beans seem like a nice addition. I'l have to try this recipe.0
-
It looks tasty but I don't like spicy food, lol.0
-
Yep. Sometimes I make a batch of the base so I can take some of it and cook my egg fresh each morning. Works really well for single servings in a hurry.0 -
I eat this all the time. So good! I do make mine hot-spicy, and I add chickpeas, garlic, and loads of spinach to mine.0

I made mine spicy...I added dried ghost chili
You can completely cut out the red pepper flakes if you wanted to, but the smoked paprika is a MUST. It's not spicy, but it has SO much flavor.

It was my favourite dinner be4 I started dieting...and I miss it alot..I quited it because we usually eat with bread (pita bread)...and I just can't eat as much bread as I want now0

@ralostaz2000 I served mine over brown rice, but couscous would be really great, too.1
-
Thinking "out loud" here, I would need to add egg whites or more eggs to help with macros, I think, but that looks and sounds amazing. I must try this1

This is my go-to shakshuka recipe: http://www.kayotic.nl/blog/shakshuka
Although here in Israel most restaurants serve it so I don't often make it at home. It's the perfect breakfast - keeps me full well past lunch!0 -
Seeing this almost makes me sad that I don't like eggs very well. I bet my family would love it though.0
-
This looks lovely. Thanks!0
-
That looks fab! I just happen to have all the ingredients on hand too. Lunch tomorrow...0
-
This looks amazing. I'm making it today, but adding chicken as I really hate eggs. Think I may have a bit of wholewheat cous cous with it too. The base recipe could have for lunch. Oh the possibilities :-)0
-
It's delicious with or without eggs.
I think next time I make it I will fry the eggs separately since I don't like the texture of poached eggs.1 -
We made a white bean version, and added some turkey kielbasa on the side for those who wanted it. Well received! And I loved it! Thanks again for posting this!1
-
Made it tonight with goats cheese and the eggs fried. All served on top of savory oats. So delicious!1

That is a great idea!1 -
I LOVE Shakshuka. Discovered it about a year ago. Here is my favorite recipe. We got our son to finally try runny yolk eggs for the first time and now he loves them. http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014721-shakshuka-with-feta?smid=pi-nytimes&smtyp=pay We serve with homemade naan.1

I have been intrigued by this recipe since I first saw this thread. I am going to make it for dinner tonight, but I am gluten free and I don't really care for most GF breads. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to serve it with. The calorie count is too low on its own. Thanks!0
