CHAKCHOUKA (SHAKSHOUKA)
Chakchouka (also called shakshouka) is a Tunisian and Israeli dish of tomatoes, onions, pepper, spices, and eggs. It's usually eaten for breakfast or lunch, but I think it's tasty anytime. And it's easy to make. It is similar to the Turkish dish 'Menemen' and to the Latin American breakfast dish 'Huevos Rancheros.'

SHAKSHUKA WITH FETA
Shakshuka may be at the apex of eggs-for-dinner recipes, though in Israel it is breakfast food, a bright, spicy start to the day with a pile of pita or challah served on the side. (It also makes excellent brunch or lunch food.) It's a one-skillet recipe of eggs baked in a tomato-red pepper sauce spiced with cumin, paprika and cayenne. First you make that sauce, which comes together fairly quickly on top of the stove, then you gently crack each of the eggs into the pan, nestling them into the sauce. The pan is moved into the oven to finish. Shakshuka originated in North Africa, and like many great dishes there are as many versions as there are cooks who have embraced it. This one strays from more traditional renditions by adding crumbled feta cheese, which softens into creamy nuggets in the oven's heat.

- Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and spices, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add eggs, and cook until just set.
- Eggs should be red-orange.
- Serve with pita bread.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your shakshuka the best flavor.

- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat. Shakshuka can be mild or spicy, depending on your preference. If you like it spicy, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Serve shakshuka with crusty bread or pita. This will help you soak up all of the delicious sauce.
- Shakshuka is a great make-ahead meal. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
