Ingredients
Main items to the shakshuka recipe:
- Traditional shakshuka recipe*
- Homemade hummus**
- Pita bread***
For the tomato salad:
- ½ red onion, thinly diced
- ½ cucumber, thinly diced
- 4 large tomatoes, thinly diced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
For the tomato salad:
- Combine all the ingredients together in a medium size bowl. Set aside and serve along with the shakshuka as explained below.
To assemble the shakshuka:
- For the “sandwich version”: place a large pita onto a plate. Spread generously with some hummus. Add a serving of the shakshuka, then garnish with the tomato salad on top. Slightly fold it in a way you can hold it with your hands, and eat immedietaly!
- For the “plate version”: add all the ingredients into a plate, starting with a serving of shakshuka, and adding a side of hummus, some tomato salad and some pita bread cut into triangles so you can dip them into the hummus.
Notes
* You can also prepare all the sides to go with a variation from the traditional shakshuka (see in the article).
** See the article to check all the possible variations.
*** An option consists in warming up the pita bread just a few minutes in the oven beforehand (you want it warm but still soft in texture so you can fold it easily).
