Shakshuka is a Mediterranean dish, with eggs poached in tomato sauce, follow with some amazing spices. I’ve had the pleasure of eating it in Israel, and it was one of my favourite dishes before I went vegan.
I made it many times, and always was working on trying to find a substitute for eggs for this dish.
This creation is amazingly delightful, and my men just devoured it all. And the best part is my kids loved it so much and been asking for more of these “eggs”. I hope you’ll try it out, and if you have kids, I hope they’ll love it too.
If you want to make it spicy, I really suggest to add some chilis into it, I love spicy, it will go so well in this dish.
You can also add some zucchini. When our friend came to visit us he wanted to make for us shakshuka with zucchini, surprisingly it was very delicious, it was my first time trying with another veggie in it.

When ready add:
1 can of tomato paste
1 jar of tomato sauce, mine was 1.1L – I made with it a few weeks ago
