Shakshuka

This Shakshuka Recipe was inspired by one of our favorite restaurants up in Portland, Oregon.

This is the best shakshuka recipe you’ll ever try – inspired by two of my favorite eateries – Tasty N Sons in Portland and Borough Market in London. I’ve combined both of their styles to come up with my own version of his spectacular brunch dish.

Although you can certainly roast and peel your bell peppers, I feel that step in unnecessary for home cooks and is really not very noticeable in the final dish. Just stir-fry your peppers, onions, garlic and tomato with a few seasonings, and you’re good to go!

Following is my recipe for Shakshuka, which is sure to become a favorite dish in your home. Enjoy!
