Shakshuka

Salut,

Shakshuka, a new recipe that I have come across recently and managed to make shakshuka for our dinner last night. This dish is one of the popular breakfast meal in Israel and I suppose it also popular in many Middle Eastern countries.

Simple and easy dish yet good enough to eat with any bread or french baguette. Mon mari and I loved it and many times he said it was so so good. I'll definitely make this dish again and again. I've even got an idea to make these dish for some special occasion and I'm pretty sure it will delight and satisfy eveyone around.

Actually, for the basic shakshuka recipe, there is no meat, but I've add another ingredients like tuna and shredded cheese. I've also devided the sauce into half and baked in oven for 5-8 minutes. I add shredded cheese on top while the sauce still hot.
