On the website, they continued to recommend to surfers the dish that many of them are unfamiliar with, and even stated that it is relatively easy to prepare and that the ingredients needed to prepare it are usually “found in every home”.

The writer noted that the dish reminds her to a large extent of “egg curry”. According to her, according to the traditional recipe, “egg curry” is actually eggs that are hard-boiled and pre-peeled, and then heated in a fragrant tomato base, with fresh ginger and garam masala.

Shake it – upgrades to a Mediterranean shake

Add fresh herbs: Enhance the taste of the shake by generously adding fresh herbs: parsley, coriander, dill, thyme and rosemary. Sprinkle generously just before serving to refresh the dish.

Upgrade the shake with different cheeses: Use Mediterranean cheeses that go great with shakshuka such as: feta cheese, goat cheese, halloumi cubes and even grated parmesan. Can be sprinkled over the eggs or while cooking the sauce.

Add Mediterranean vegetables: Shakshuka loves Mediterranean vegetables and they will upgrade the taste of the dish and even add texture to it: spinach, zucchini, artichokes, dried tomatoes, roasted eggplants and olives. Try one of them or a combination of several together.

Spices: Adjust the amount of spices according to your personal preferences. Add spreads such as cradle cap, smoked paprika, sumac, or thyme to the tomato sauce.

Toppings next to the shake: Instead of the traditional bread or pita, they served Mediterranean side dishes such as tabbouleh, hummus, a refreshing Greek salad. These will add variety to the meal and complement its flavors.
