Chakchouka Recipe
ChakChouka (or Shaksshouka) is a popular breakfast dish in North African countries such as Tunisia and Algeria. Traditionally served in a cast iron pan with bread it has been a staple recipe for family throughout the region. Some food historians have said that it was first created in the Ottoman empire before starting its journey through the Middle East.
It is similar to the Mexican breakfast dish, Huevos Rancheros, but keeps the egg yolks whole instead of being scrambled. This dish is bursting with flavour thanks to the peppers, garlics and paprika and is perfect to serve up as a family breakfast. We recommend you give this brilliant dish a go and impress everyone lucky enough to get a bite!
