Shakshouka
Classical and historic food from the Mediterranean countries, which dates back to Ottoman Empire. Shakshouka is classical food in Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, the Moroccan region, Israel and the Balkan countries. It is baked with tomatoes, peppers, garlic and fried eggs. Fast-cooked and delicious food is suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner. In the Arabic lands and other regions, it is made in iron-cast pan, while Morocco uses the classic tagine mold. In my recipe, I reduced the amount of peppers, classically thir recipe uses peppers about twice as much as tomatoes, but the this option seems for me better better because tomato flavors will be more dominant.
