Shakshuka

[kimberkit]

I tweeted about shakshuka yesterday: a spicy tomato dish with poached eggs on top, complemented by creamy cheese and parsley, it is ridiculously tasty for using such cheap ingredients. I had it at Hummus Place, a restaurant near me.

Then I made it for lunch today again, using SmittenKitchen's recipe. It cost me $9 ($5 of which was for the cheese). For a dish that makes 4 meals and tastes as yummy as this, that's insanely good.

Plus it's vegetarian and is fairly virtuous -- all flavor and essentially no fat other than from the cheese, the latter of which you can eliminate. Go forth and make shakshuka!

I know! It's simple AND a pantry dish AND tasty. I love it when that happens. I mean, pasta with soy sauce and sesame oil is the closest I have to that happening (garnish with any leftover veggies or proteins you have around).
