This Shakshuka spice blend makes a delicious meal. Eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce soak up the flavors of paprika, cumin, and chili powder, with fresh peppers, garlic, and onion adding a layered complexity. Local variations can include additions of olives, sheep's milk cheese, spicy sausage, or lemon, though we like to keep it simple and classic.
Shakshuka is another iconic dish with many regional variations across the Middle East but originating in the Maghreb region. The Maghreb specifically refers to the Western edge of the Arab world, including Morocco, Libya, and other countries located in Northwestern Africa. Shakshuka most likely was invented here in the mid 1500s after the introduction of tomatoes from the New World, though many countries now claim its invention. Regardless of its exact origins, it is now beloved around the world.
