African-Style Eggs in Tomato
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The homeland of this spicy, hearty dish is hot Tunisia. Shakshuka can be made in a cast-iron skillet in the oven for extra health benefits, but a simple stovetop will handle it just as well. You can use all the spices in the recipe, or leave out any you don't like. Cook with pleasure.
