Shakshuka is a savoury one-pan vegetarian dish, originating from North Africa. It typically consists of gently poached eggs in a spiced tomato sauce, with vegetables and warming spices such as paprika and cumin. The term 'shakshuka' translates from Arabic as 'mixed up' or 'shaken', which reflects the assortment of ingredients in this hearty dish.
