Shakshuka – Baked Eggs in Tomato Stew with Greens (Low-FODMAP, Paleo) Print 12 LikeDislike By Samantha Elkrief Shakshuka is a flavorful and rich nutrient egg-based dish eaten in North Africa, Israel, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries (though it has different names and varieties). It’s usually eaten for breakfast, but I prefer it for a light dinner or lunch.The great thing about this dish is you can individualize it as much as you like. The basics are tomatoes, onions, peppers, cumin, garlic, water, salt, pepper and eggs. Other than that, it’s up to you. You can add paprika, or sometimes I cook it with a dried pepper, like chipotle, to give it a smokey kick. You can add hot sauce or whatever herbs you like. I used to use green peppers as that’s the way they do it in Northern Africa, but in Israel they often use more tomatoes and red peppers. It’s very versatile. To keep it low-FODMAP, I use red or orange peppers and skip the onions.
Christine Chipman July 29, 2015 at 7:57 amThis looks like a great idea, but onions are definitely a no-no in the Low FODMAP diet, because I’m on it at the moment, and have the app on my phone from Monash University, who are doing all the research worldwide on this. Other than that though, it looks great, and I might give it a try using chives and parsley, or spring onion green tops, which are allowed. Reply ↓
Zain June 17, 2015 at 2:50 amShakshuka is never Israeli. Just as Falafel, Hummus and sahlab are not Israeli. Just as any Arab or Middle Eastern food is not Israeli. People ridicule us Palestinians when we say such things but we have to protect our identity with everything we have (including our food) since it’s threatened every single day. Reply ↓
Samantha June 15, 2015 at 12:52 pmI love that idea, Emilie! I like to add cayenne pepper or dried chiles, like whole chipotle, while cooking it to give it that smoky flavor. So many possibilities! Reply ↓
