Traditional Israeli Shakshuka Recipe
Feeling Adventurous this week? This Shakshuka (pronounced shock-shook-ah) is a traditional Israeli/Moroccan dish that is found in nearly every Restaurant in Israel. I love that it can be eaten as breakfast, lunch or dinner. My husband and I loved this dish. It kinda blew our taste buds! Serve with soft, fresh French bread. I wish there were leftovers!
