If you have never heard of shakshouka eggs, this what google will tell you: ” Shakshouka  is a dish of eggs poached  in a sauce of tomatoes, chilli peppers, onion, often spiced with cumin.”

The most enjoyable part is scooping all the deliciousness with a piece of fresh bread. Don’t simmer down your sauce too much, let the eggs float!
