This recipe is the one I discussed on the Podcast 40-day journey for Breakfast for Dinner. Shakshouka (or shakshuka) loosely translates to “all mixed up” in Arabic and hints at the potent spice and exotic flavors. This one-pot-wonder of a dish also goes by the name “eggs in purgatory”. I don’t know who came up with such an obvious misnomer, but I seriously question their judgment: anyone with tastebuds will know that this richly spiced tomato sauce is hardly purgatory. In fact, I’d argue that it’s nothing short of heavenly. Which is why I think shakshouka is a far more apt name, in my opinion.
