Shakshuka
with Roasted Red Peppers & Za'atar Tofu
Shakshuka is a savory, saucy dish originally from Ottoman North Africa, now popular across many cuisines in the Middle East. It typically consists of eggs poached in richly spiced, stewed tomatoes with roasted peppers, though many enjoy it with crumbled feta cheese and pita. This version of shakshuka uses tender crumbles of tofu in place of eggs or feta and crispy onions for added crunch.
