This summer we had opportunity to cook Israeli food here in Germany with my friends boyfriend who comes from Isreal. One of them was Traditional Israeli Shakshuka.
Cooking with people from different countries is always amazing experiance. They always do things differently. That day they invited me to lunch and when I came in I could smell already onions and garlic, I thought “I will like this”. And I did! I have heared of Shakshuka before, while I was researching Israeli food on the pinterest the other day. I was very curious how this dish will taste like, because the combination of eggs and tomato sauce is still pretty weird for a polish person;) Shakshuka became one of those dishes that we cook even few times a month. You can eat Shakshuka plain, but the Israeli eat it with bread. The idea is so simple, I don’t know why haven’t I done this before. It makes great breakfast, dinner or lunch. If you try it am sure it will be one of the dishes you will cook more often – for breakfast, dinner or lunch;)
