Shakshuka is a currently popular one-dish treat that can be served at any meal. It usually includes tomatoes, but I prefer the green version given here. It is a common meal in Africa and parts of the Middle-East with a combination of simmering tomatoes, onions, garlic, spices, and poached eggs. It can be a single or multiple serving dish. It can be baked or cooked on the stove top. It is said to be the national dish of Israel.
