Easy Shakshuka Recipe – Whole 30, Paleo, and Gluten Free

06/18/2017 by The Mama Maven

My husband spent 3 years in Israel and for years, he’s talked about the dish Shakshuka. It’s so delicious and very kid friendly — plus, if you follow Whole 30 or Paleo 0r a gluten-free diet, this is totally compliant. According to Wikipedia, “Shakshuka is a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions, often spiced with cumin. In its present egg and vegetable-based form it is of Tunisian origin, and is now popular among many ethnic groups of the Middle East and North-Africa.” The version we made was super easy, healthy, and if you are following Whole 30, a Paleo diet or a gluten free diet, you can enjoy this. Plus its very kid friendly. Easy Shakshuka Recipe –  Whole 30, Paleo, and Gluten Free

    That is very different. I have never seen nor heard of this dish. I think I would try it, and the recipe sounds easy enough. I will have to give it a go.
