Israeli Breakfast Of Champions: Shakshuka
"One day in our conference room up in the sky, we got to talking about food cultures we all loved but wanted to know more about. With that, the idea of Around The World In 5 Editors was born. Each day this week, one of the editors breaks in with a lineup of stories, recipes, interviews and personal essays dedicated to their respective country. In honor of today’s focus on Israeli cuisine, a shakshuka recipe. The dish has origins in North Africa, but is eaten throughout Israel during breakfast time. Here, NYC chef Einat Admony gives us her take on the classic dish. In Israel the word shakshuka is synonymous with breakfast. It's best with a slice or two of challah bread to sop up the juices. This is a version of my dad's recipe, except that he used to mix the eggs together, because my older sister refused to eat the egg whites. Here is the recipe I prefer.
