Shakshouka (also spelled shakshuka) is a North African and Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached in a spiced tomato-pepper sauce. Its history reflects centuries of cultural exchange around the Mediterranean.
North Africa (Tunisia/Maghreb) is widely considered the dish’s birthplace. The name shakshouka likely comes from a Maghrebi Arabic word meaning “a mixture” or “all mixed up.”
The original versions in the Maghreb used tomatoes, peppers, garlic, olive oil, and spices like cumin, paprika, and harissa.
