Shakshuka... Middle-Eastern Eggs Poached in Tomato Sauce. I've been seeing "poached eggs in tomato sauce" on a number of blogs/sites recently. But it was this Middle-Eastern version that really made me finally prepare the dish. I love the addition of cumin and coriander. I am sure there are quite a few variations to this basic dish. Some will not use onions, others will not add feta cheese, while yet still others will skip the peppers. In Italy, they have a similar dish where a tomato and basil sauce is used. In Mexico, you have the classic huevos rancheros where a tomato based salsa is used. In France, you have baked eggs over ratataouille sauce. I think you will find quite a few variations to the "poached eggs in tomato sauce"....so it is nice to be able to prepare it according to your taste. If you prefer more spices, you can easily adjust that. In any case, the idea of poaching eggs in a sauce is definitely not new. But it makes for a wonderful meal...be it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I like the idea of having some crusty bread that will mop up the delicious sauce. You can use whatever bread you like, in my case I had some homemade naan bread.
