Tips
Where it comes from
Shakshuka is a North African dish, and its name is Maghrebi Arabic for mixture. In its tomato form it can't be very old, because tomatoes only reached the region from the Americas after the 1500s. Jews from the Maghreb brought it to Israel in the 1950s, and it became a fixture of Israeli breakfasts from the 1990s.
