Shakshuka – all mixed up for Breakfast

Pane-Bistecca
Shakshuka is being served as breakfast in many North African and Arabic Countries. In Israel it is very present! But where does it really come from? Historians think this dish originated in Yemen or even from the Ottoman Empire. It was brought through Tunisia to Israel, where it has become a traditional breakfast. Shakshuka means „all mixed up“ and that’s exactly what the dish is.

The most well-known dish is the red variation with tomatoes and capsicum, topped with eggs. But there is also a green version with mangold, spinach, and cream. If I campare this dish to similar ones all around the globe, I find the Mexican „Huevos Rancheros“ or the Italian „Ova ‘mpriatorio“, which have almost identical ingredients. In Spain this dish is called „Pisto Manchego“ and is made with eggplants and tomatoes. This means, this is an international dish, which was invented by poor people who needed to eat what was available. That’s how this dish became a stable in many countries!

And because it is such an international dish, colorful and filling, it is perfect fort he event Breakfast ideas at Zorra from Kochtopf, hosted by Ilka from Was machst du eigentlich so?
