Notes
- If you want to add any meat to shakshuka, beef or lamb would compliment well. Or if you want to add some more spice or flavor, red peppers, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, or black pepper. Feta cheese is also a great addition to this recipe.
- For the tomato sauce, you can use diced or crushed tomatoes, depending on how chunky you like your tomato mixture.
