- Shakshuka is a North African and Middle Eastern breakfast dish that is rich in history and culture and has many variations across the world. My case for Shakshuka is that it's a perfect student breakfast and we should all make it more often using ingredients that we like. It is affordable, healthy, convenient and of course, delicious. I'm showing you 2 Shakshuka recipes: one that is more traditional, and another that is customized to our student needs.

If i can add something to this as a North African you sould definitely add olive oil at the end, it’s the most important . And it is delicious eaten with « kesra » which is a very easy North Africa bread
I'm excited to learn about this bread
He should add some hresa too ;/
ههه he is destroying that shakshoka
my fav bread to go with this is sourdough
I love olive oil… yes, I’ll add that when I make it!
You can make a big batch (3 or 4 day's worth) of the shakshuka sauce/base and keep it in the fridge. At breakfast time, just take a portion and bring it up to a quick simmer, add your eggs to poach and you have a quick healthy breakfast.
Going to do this!!
Planning to do this tomorrow, was going to switch up a few ingredients and add corn, red beans and tofu (don't judge me, it's all I have in the pantry rn xD ). My every morning of this week will probably start with shakshuka now.
@@totallynuts7595 From what I have been told by friends, that is how it is supposed to work with shakshuka; you use what you have and put it in a spicy sauce. No shame and no judging!
@@mom24boybarians Improvised food is the best food, i guess =))
vegetables and all? totally considering this!
Just made shakshuka with my family, we loved it!
For anyone making this, don't be too fussed with the ingredients. You can basically put any sort of vegetables, cover it in tomato sauce, poke a few holes in it, put some eggs in the holes and get a wonderful dish.
We used cilantro, parsley, smoked paprika, cumin and fennel. Highly recommend that combo of spices and herbs.
That sounds freaking delicious. Going to the market tomorrow and will definitely be thinking of this comment when I do my shopping :d
i know this is an incredibly dumb question but is it easy to get out of the pan cause i’d have no idea how to eat this
@@Live.Laugh.Lobotomy not a dumb question at all, it’s usually served with some sort of flatbread & you just tear off a bit of bread, scoop up the yummy stuff with the bread. Not much washing up required, my kind of cooking😀
@@annem9195 do u think this could be eaten with rice or nah?
@@hi-ud2zg I think you can eat it with whatever you like! The bread just makes it easy to scoop it up🙂
As a Moroccan 🇲🇦💛, we don't eat this for breakfast, we make it for lunch or dinner when we're too lazy to cook. And we sometimes add meat balls (kefta).
I can confirm it is so delicious! And we normally call it "bid o maticha" aka "eggs and tomatoes".
Ps: I really want him to try "zaalouk", he's gonna love it!!
In Algeria, we also eat it for Lunch and Dinner. I wonder who eats it for breakfast. i feel like its too heavy for breakfast haha
@@chillchill3320 ahaha so true 🇲🇦
Yeah but I guess Americans would want to have it for breakfast so why not ! We north Africans in the other hand have a typically french like breakfast with mostly coffee and croissant 😊
@@rebbouhhind2580 We Americans are very particular about our breakfast - some foods, like soft-cooked eggs, are nearly synonymous with it. So much so that if we ate something like this for dinner, we'd call it "breakfast for dinner." 😋
@Nala i like using sausage meat but i suppose you guys use beef right?
As an algerian
I am glad that a lot of people are enjoying this meal
Ps : if u add mushrooms to this it will taste like heaven
And you should check kesra too

Good idea for the mushrooms!

This dish is an absolute life saver. If I wake up in the morning feeling a little groggy I still know I can cook myself up a nice and easy nutritious breakfast in a single pan with an onion, a can of tomatoes, and whatever vegetables are available in my fridge. My personal Shakshuka often winds up including garlic with the onion, jarred roasted peppers and pearl onions, white pepper, and chili oil drizzled over it at the end... it's so, so delicious...
That technique also used sometimes for Huevos Rancheros ("farmhouse eggs") in Mexico. The basic dish is fried eggs served with salsa, but a tastier version poaches the eggs in a skillet of salsa.
That’s what I immediately thought of too. And similarly it is sort of a “canvas” that can incorporate a lot of different ingredients.

In Italy we eat It but not at breakfast. We make It with only eggs, onion, basil and fresh Red tomatoes. It Is a Summer dish, because tomatoe must be fresh to appreciate its flavour, and we call It "uova in purgatorio" (eggs in purgatory). Buon appetito a tutti! 😊👋
As an Italian American, throughout the whole video I was wondering if there was an Italian version. Thx

my gf and i started trying out shakshuka a couple weeks ago and from the very first time it was like: "damn, food really is effing good"
we'll be at work just texting each other like should we make shakshuka again today. it's just that good. we keep changing the recipe every now and then with leftovers and it improves in its own way. so versatile and convenient and some of the yummiest dishes i ever had.
so thank you so much for that!
Watching the video: "Wow, we've reached 5000 subscribers!"
Check the amount of channel subscribers: 2.3 million.
Video was posted 8 months ago.
Wow. You my good sir, are on a roll!
And by the way, great video, thanks for the recipe ideas and will definitely be trying out my own version!
The first time I had/heard of shakshouka was when I was couch surfing in Tunisia. I came back to the u.s. and started making it for everyone I know! I can't believe restaurants started serving it for the prices they do. It's the easiest, cheapest meal and blows everyone away with flavor🥰
Most businesses charge what they can get away with. It looks fancy and it's exotic.
$15 for shakusa vs $18 for 2 egg McMuffin and a drink. Overpriced but so is everything else.
@@RoboJo-pq8pjlol it's so much cheaper I mean if you add some sea food it's very good also
With merguez...
@WORKS-tf6ii I can definitely see you're tunisian with those suggestions but I would say the most important part is the traditional harissa(not the canned/jarred stuff).
@@sekki327 true and fresh tomatto
I make Shakshuka a lot!!! In fact, I made it a couple hours ago 😂
Here are a few things I’ve learned!
- Personally, I like my veggies diced very small so that everything cooks down very nicely! It means no big crunchy chunks, and allowed everything to cook super easily, but this on is 1000% preference :)
- I add a lot more spices than illustrated in this video; namely Cayenne, Chilli Powder, and my secret ingredient
• Ras El Hanout •
This stuff will take your Shakshuka to a CRAZY level of goodness like you can’t even imagine!!!!
- Finally, I simmer everything for at least 40 minutes once the tomatoes go in! This allows the acidity to break down and the natural sweetness come out of the tomatoes! This makes it sooooo much better I cannot even begin to tell you lol. Either cover or add water as needed if your Shakshuka begins to get too thick!
Good luck, and happy cooking everyone!
:)
Thank you for the tips 👍🏻
I also cut my peppers in long really tiny stripes this way they are all over the place and every bite has peppers. Did i mention that I love peppers lol
@@Ava-dn3qi absolutely! 🥳
@@maba5202 peppers are so good 🤩

I think it's not talked about enough that healthy food like this can be much cheaper than pre-made meals, with more calories
healthy is not just calories tho, this needs more proteins by adding more eggs
@@warthoggoulags1679 no it doesnt.. not everyone is trying to bulk up 10 kilos per day

Here's a tip for the herbs: CORIANDER! I swear the combo of cumin and coriander is absolutely amazing and definitely needs to be tried!
That would be delicious! He mentioned cilantro, which I think is another name for coriander greens.
@@your3kiddingit depends on where you live. I think the British call cilantro coriander, but in America coriander is the seeds and cilantro are the leaves of the same plant.
@@megazombiekiller9000 good to know, thanks!
Oh wow. I’ve got homemade sauce in the fridge right now!
One day I started making food from myself, randomly mixing my equipment and inventing my omelet. Today I came to TH-cam, and I saw that it was not random food, but it was called Shakshoka and i think that was fantastic 😄
Would that be cannibalism?
@@ijemand5672 ahah
@@ijemand5672 😂😂😂 " my equipment "
@@shivamthakur1176 "from myself"
If you added the egg at the beginning as you would an omelet, then what you made would be closer to Turkish menemen.
Pro Tip: Crush your garlic, mince your aromatics, and simmer them in the oil for a bit prior to adding the peppers and onions. I cook a variant of this just about every day in NE Oklahoma, with locally grown herbs and spices (Szechuan pepper trees grow in zone 7 - we crush those peppercorns, mix with mustard for pungency and cayenne for heat, and no one would ever guess that the dish has no black pepper in it) Goes GREAT on a home made corn tortilla.
good stuff for sure!
Funny, my mind also went to huevos rancheros watching this haha
pro tip for anyone else who reads this: completely disregard this comment lmao. Do not add garlic first, it will burn. peppers and onions first, then garlic and aromatics.
@@Mooskittl what? You can and wehn you want should do it like that especialy when you dont want the garlic directly in youre food or want it extra garlici. You put the oil in than heat it up and than you wait and before the garlic gets black you get it out of the oil. You have no clue.
@@Mooskittl Exactly. I hate this "tip", and people have the audicity to present it as the miraculous way of cooking, yeah right. Total opposite.
The taste is LONG gone by the time you finish cooking, culinary obviousness 101. I *always* add garlic and spices right at the end, *always* . The taste and the improvement is ineffable and unmatchable.
I completely understand where he lives food is more affordable but in the US ingredient prices are so jacked up especially the eggs now. For a dozen at Walmart it costs around $10-$12 for the generic brand. I made this and it was amazing I completely recommend trying it. In total it costed me around $25 for all the ingredients and I got 5 portions out of it. So about $5 per portion wasn’t too bad and was so much better than anything McDonald’s could whip up.
These are lies. I've never seen a dozen eggs over $4. They're less than $2 now and have been for over a year. You should be ashamed
Ik this vid is a year old but I just found it and made it tn and HOLY MOLY it was such a hit with my family. I loved cleaning out my fridge in the process thank you so much.
I made this this morning and I can confirm, best breakfast I’ve had in ages.
I know right?
@@letsKWOOWK your video on this lade me try it for the first time.
All time favourite breakfast. Thank you for introducing me to this treasure
ive added minced beef to it, diced sweet potato along with the eggs and peppers. tastes damn good. ive already cooked the mince beef and diced sweet potato in a separate skillet and kept it in the fridge. i just take out a portion of it and add it to the pan after cooking the onions and peppers, and tomato sauce. and lastly i add the eggs. and it tastes so good even with rice.
stop that sounds amazing
The whole time I was watching this, all I could think about was the fact that it needed more meat.
Glad I'm not the only one.
@@thedarklordofall6792 its really not. its just easy to for me.
I eat this and had zero clue it actually existed somewhere else... just how I like food...
My mind has been blown and now I know which country's culinary genius to research. Thanks.
As a Tunisian 🇹🇳 I love that people are appreciating Tunisian and North African food
It wasn't nearly as complete, but this morning I made a simple version of this: literally a fresh tomato from my dad's garden plus an egg, fried together in a pan (tomatoes first) with a little olive oil, dried basil and salt... ate it with crackers. Made the same thing again in the afternoon but added frozen spinach. Just thought it was interesting cause I had never heard of this dish, it really was just a "this is what I have, let's make a meal of it" kind of situation.
I think that would be closer to strapatsada actually.
@@edgybitch2177 I'll have to look that up
You accidentally made your own version just hours before you came across this video? The TH-cam Algo is wild 😳
We call this menemen here in turkey but it's practically identical. You can put pretty much anything in it and it'll work as long as there is tomatoes, the best vegetable ever. Oddly enough Shakshuka (Şakşuka) is the name of a completely different dish made out of mainly eggplants and stuff here.
Aynen. The şakşıka i know is different. And never had it for breakfast 😁
Because it's basically a Turkish dish as it was created under Osman rule.
@@Yonhondainoveit was made by north africans lmao, the region being occupied doesn’t make the dish turk
tunisian 🇹🇳 shakshouka is lunch/dinner 😊 i also recommend using harissa (spicy chili paste) in the shakshouka and scooping it up with baguette bread
One thing I have learned through the process of cooking is that you can make your own rules. Yes I love the traditional curries my mother made me as a child, but when you don't have the option of making it authentically but you still gotta feed yourself something healthy you find the amazing fact that most ingredients can complement each other in some way or the other, and you don't even need a lot of spices to make it taste good, since you will realise how much flavour is already packed inside those veggies. It's amazing. I would have never realised how simple food can get, yet how healthy and delicious it can be compared to the restaurant dishes that are most of the times not even that great.
I've never heard of shakshuka until about a month ago. I tried it and I am obsessed! I've had it several times since then. I've been researching recipes and it does seem like there are variations. I tried the first traditional route and I really loved it!
I appreciate the fact that ur super-realistic about cooking as a student (referring to the part where u just threw all of the veggies together, as a real student would lol)
Because its a habit of mine, I'd make this with rice. I'm not a massive fan of rice, but nothing else can quite so easily slip into a meal to give it so much more of a filling feeling, and that's a nice feeling to have. This definitely looks like something to try.
I love that so many different cultures have their own version of this dish, very delicious been having it since I was a child
I just made this immediately after seeing it. It’s the greatest meal i’ve ever made. Thanks for getting me into cooking while i’m at school. It feels good to eat something other than fast food.
Darn you! Now I’m starrrrrving, & this is all I want…but I’ll hv to go shopping! 😭
Truly - thank you! I’d forgotten how easy this dish is, & how great it is for all seven meals (first breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, & supper.☺️).

@@JeewanthaBandara poor man; I bet the tops of his feet aren’t hairy, either. And his doorways are rectangular. 😭😭😭

Breakfast? Dude, that's dinner!
When I first started cooking shakshuka was a very common go to. I still sometimes will cook it for supper just as a nostalgic treat and to mix up my mostly Italian repertoire. It is a great dish at any time of day, and very, very filling.
Thank you so much for sharing it. Eating it for the 2nd day in a row. I love how you promote cultural diversity of the national food! Keep up the Grind and inspire us to cook more!
One of my favorite breakfast and breakfast-for-dinner meals to make for the family. Yo, for students: can of red or black beans, 1/2 jar of salsa, (add whatever seasonings and stuff you like)simmer for an hour or even 15 mins then, add eggs.
Just made this for breakfast. I’m always blown away at how the “middle eastern area” countries really have their cuisine figured out! It was such a lovely dish!
Im more blown away at how western countries still haven’t figured out how to cook lol
Middle Eastern area is amazing since it's heavily influenced by Italy and shares a similar climate (in the coastal areas at least), has always had a pastoral culture (great for meat and cheese) and was closer than Italy and Europe in the spice trade to India/ China
@@yaakovgrunsfeld yall westerns loves to take credit for everything
@@yaakovgrunsfeld The best food in Italy is in the south. Why? Because it is closer to the Maghreb where the food is even better!
@@user-dt8wy8hh6h you are just jealous
That looks amazing and will try this next week for sure thank you.
I like to use celery leaves (I grow my own so they are super dark green and flavorful) instead of parsley. I also cut up the tiny stalks for crunch. Love this dish!
This is perfect for guests! Had my parents over and made it for breakfast and it was a hit. I fried up some mushrooms on the side to throw in after the fact for those who wanted mushrooms, I’ll definitely do that again. I tried crumbly goat cheese but feta definitely tastes better. Parsley was good but I think I’d enjoy cilantro more. I’ll be making this again!
This is like a lot of dishes where the traditional is great by itself but is also a fantastic base for creative flavors and textures to make a new dish or just personalize it a bit.
i watched this a couple of nights ago after it came up in my recommended while i was high and hungry. finally made it today and oml. i think i am in love with you for introducing me to this. shakshuka is genuinely SO easy and tasty. ty, i adore u
My brother made this for me once many years ago, and even without some of the fancy spices it was a heavenly food experience. Absolutely second this recommendation.
We make a version of this in Bulgaria and call it mish mash
We don't put as many spices but we add brine cheese, tastes so nice and homely. It was one of the first things I taught myself how to cook as a student
I love cooking like this! Bravo and thank you.
Since watching this video a week ago, i have made this dish 4 times, really a great dish with a lot of potential. I know it's a year later but thanks for being the introduction to this dish for me.
As a Tunisian, I'm proud that this dish is popular

I love the first version of Shakshuka, it's literal perfection for this dish.
I make this dish a LOT, and each time it is different. The wonderful thing about this, its yummy no matter what culture its from. Its super versitle.
You don’t need onions or bell peppers, it’s honestly better with just tomatoes jalapeños egg and spices, also good touch with the water
how do you recommend to add jalapeno
@@thatlucidguy just slice it up thinly and add it in the beginning so it can soften up
Have you ever thought about those ingredients though? Tomatoes, jalapeños and the bell peppers?
Just came across your video two days ago and made this today. I could see this becoming a regular breakfast for me, especially in the winter.
I'll probably make the tomato sauce in bulk and then freeze it in individual servings. That way as long as I remember to take one out to thaw the night before, breakfast is ready in 10 minutes.
Bonus points for being one of the most fun breakfasts to say.
Anyone one else notice that the improved more "expensive" version was made with left overs making it realistically cheaper? Regardless going to try making this as it sounds Fantastic
I think I first had it in Tunisia, but most recently in Israel and I always cook it to remind me of the Middle EAst. For a vegan version, you can make a chickpea flour 'egg': "Two tablespoons of chickpea flour mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of oil, then allowed to sit for at least 5 minutes is equal to 1 egg." I like to use Kala Malak salt to add an 'eggy' flavour. I like it for breakfast or as a dinner meal. (or brunch or supper for that matter!)
Such a easy meal ! Thank you for the discovery !
Just made it! It's amazing. Thanks for the recipe man! Keep up the good work
Made it for dinner the other day and it came out delicious
I never even knew what this was called but I used to make this alllll the time in my early twenties/ late teens, I’d usually do onions, mushrooms, kale or spinach and kidney beans with whatever pasta sauce I had on hand and Cholula hot sauce, then crack in the eggs and usually top it with grated parm. Best with some sourdough toast
I can see why you referenced Adam's video. You have that same calm, informative pace as him. Also tackling the issue of fast, easy, tasty and affordable food for students is a noble pursuit. Good stuff, sir. I'll be watching more.
My dad always makes shakshuka on Saturday morning so all the family can enjoy it together. Really a nostalgic dish that lives close to my heart.
Wow! I have been making this dish for 20 years. Thought it was my invention. Now I know it’s called Shakshuka. (But mine also contains some smoked meat). I learned something new. Thank you.
I made this dish today and I was wowed by it! I usually don't like adding things to eggs and I just like eating them with bread but after two hours I am hungry. This was the perfect recipe for me to add more vegetables throughout my day and it tasted amazing! Also, I wanted to add that some people were discussing the price of the dish and how much money you actually need to get this groceries. I bought my groceries in lidl and I paid:
59 cents for the can of tomatoes (I used half of it)
Kumin and paprika were together 1.4 and ofc I have lots of them left over
Onion 31 cents
Pepper 66 cents
Feta 2.2 euros and I used maybe 1/4 of it
Eggs 66 cents for three
Garlic 70 cents but I didn't use the whole thing.
The total is 5.9 euros but I will have spices, feta left over to make other things. Maybe it's not 1 euro dish for where I live (Slovenia) but I think it's totally worth the effort and cost.
Fun video. Thanks for uploading. I'll certainly give it a try.
Looks fire!! Can’t wait to make this
My standard breakfast that I started making like the day I started college:
1/2 medium onion, 3 strips of bacon, 1 egg, oyster sauce (soy sauce works, too), white rice
Slice onion vertically so that it can get nice and carmelized while not becoming goo.
Dice up the bacon into bite sized pieces.
Onion and bacon into pan. Low heat so that it can sweat and the onions can absorb the rendered fat from the bacon.
Take a shower, have a cigarette, make some coffee. Whatever your morning routine.
When the onions look gooey, add a splash of oyster sauce, crack in egg, crank up the heat and stir fry.
When it's almost but not quite done, turn off heat and pour over rice. The residual heat will finish off the eggs.
Can instead add the rice around the time of the egg and burn it a little, but I think that's a bit too impactful for a breakfast food.
As a Chinese friend taught me: The secret of Chinese cooking is to add a splash of oyster sauce and ever so slightly burn it.
Love your video. I am not a student and I can afford a meal that is a little more than $1.89. But I love the simplicity of how a Shakshuka is done and how tasty it looks. With the tomato sauce and eggs and all the veggie and herbs, you really can't go wrong. After watching your video, I have come to the conclusion that what makes Shakshuka a Shakshuka are the last 4 ingredients added at the end : the tomato sauce, the eggs, the feta cheese, and the herbs. The sky is the limit for any veggies you add prior.
For a teenager with recently made 31 this seems like a great breakfast dates or hangover/friends after night out. Thank you!!
Just tried it and it was AMAZING!!!!! I didn't have eggplant, but I used zucchini and I didn't have hot peppers either (but I don't like hot peppers lol). I didn't have goat cheese, but the cilantro is the secret piece to the dish that adds a delicious freshness to all the warmth. This was AMAZING!!!!!!!
I saw the thumbnail and I was like “hey, that looks like shakshuka” (couldn’t read the entire title). Hell yeah, it’s my favourite breakfast/lunch by far! I switch it up a little every time and I add way more spices than in the video. I also let it simmer for longer, especially because I like to add red lentils for extra protein, and when the lentils are almost perfect, I add the eggs. I used to eat it with nachos… I’m sorry.
We are definitely going to try this. We will have to dial back the peppers. This sounds nutritious and so delicious.
Dear sir, thanks for sharing this great recipe. Not only is it delicious, inexpensive and convenient, but it is also great in that it is a great, low carbohydrate, keto-friendly meal too. It may be a North African breakfast, but it also is a delicious dinner on a cold, Minnesota winter evening.
as a student, I just made this dish and my roommates loved it!!
I just made this again for a fourth or fifth time and I finally had feta cheese at home . . . this makes all the difference and it was already amazing before!
5K subs 4 months ago? Now 1.2 million? Thats crazy. You got a good thing going on. I like your videos. I need more
I rewatched this video after some time to remind myself of the recipe and what an amazing dish and video these two are. Also congrats on going from 5k to 2.55 mln in 9 months
this looks awesome i can't wait to try it myself
Looks so delish! But it's definitely outside of the budget for students where I am from :(
Onion- cheap
Pepper/capsicum- very expensive
Hot pepper- v expensive and often unavailable.
Herbs- cheap if home grown or dried.
Eggs- 3 for breakfast ok
Feta- expensive, but cheap feta is an option.
Just the cost of the bell pepper is over $3 currently (could go down to .99 at the peak of the season but that is rare and the price could reach $4). Feta if you used 1/4 of a small cheap one that would be $1 maybe a little more, eggs 55c each, say you only partially use a hot pepper- when in season 70c, can tomato- cheapest is 91c, half onion maybe 30c, herbs dried $2 for a small box but that lasts at least 10 meals so 20c
So approx $7.46 NZD - $4.64 USD
Most students can afford $70-90 a week on groceries, so if they were to spend $4.64 a day just on breakfasts then $32.55 of their budget would just be on breakfasts!
I really loved this recipe, especially as you talked about using leftovers, that is a great way to reduce food waste and keep food costs down. I'm keen to see if the recipe could be adapted to be cheaper, while still being true to the heart of the recipe. I will update if I make a cheaper version using affordable- to my location- ingredients! I love your enthusiasm for cheap, healthy student meals! I am disabled so I have a simular budget to most students and finding accessible meal options is a big struggle!
one thing I started doing was getting bags of different frozen veg. a bad of peas, edumame, corn, and i found one of mixed onion and pepper. They are so great because you can have an open bag in the freezer and just add a little of the things you want without buying fresh out of season with the chance of not using it all in one dish. If the bag is $2 but you use it 10 or more times, its pretty cheap per serving. Just an idea if its useful.
you could just go with the original dish, eggs and tomatos and maybe add something you find cheap like onions and dried herbs.
I think it works better as a brunch item
@@ksar98 agree
Indeed try with frozen veggies ? If the peppers cost a lot maybe it’s because it’s not a veggie from your region? Try with veggies of your region to lower the cost ?
The feta is there for extra protein and the salty taste. You could omit it and / or use some capers ?
Can't believe this channel only had 5000 subscribers during making of this video . Now 2.66 million 🤩
Awfully totally the best!!! Yum yummy
I'm making this for breakfast tomorrow! It looks so effing delicious!!!
I feel like wilting spinach into the sauce will increase it's nutritional value by a whole bunch, as well as the coriander/cilantro and the parsley. I'm making this tomorrow for sure
We have something really similar in Italy, it's called "uova in paradiso" (eggs in heaven).
Traditionally it doesn't have all the veggies, just eggs and tomato sauce. And it used to be a dish for poor peasants (hence now it became that thing you prepare when your fridge is empty 😅). Btw I don't find it hard to imagine that many families would now prepare it with veggies too, if they like it
Oh this looks incredible.
I made shakshuka and it was awesome and super delicious. Thank you for the video. I appreciate it. Make this kind of cheap but delicious food in the future please.
Personally I would recommend adding the garlic a bit earlier, and the peppers/chilis later, it doesn't make that big of a difference though, overall great stuff!
Can confirm. This meal was a cheap, nutritional meal that got me through dorm life. 20 dollars in material to feed me for a week and a half.

I'll definitelly give it a shot, thx! 😁
This is absolutely delicious, thank you for educating us ❤❤😋
If you want a cheap way to make it more filling, you can of course eat it with semolina. Alternatively, wheat grains work well too, and if you have nothing else, rice or western bread will accompany it decently (but it's more costly).
If you're looking for the taste, it pairs very well with the various maghrebi kesra (flat bread) recipes and a nice big glass of fermented milk. If you don't have fermented milk, you can swap with for a creamy yogurt, even cream cheese. If you really don't have enough money for this, just take a glass of whole milk instead.
actually in Tunisia we made an upgrade and made a seafood shakshouka it's more than fucking delicious you should try it and we made another one just like the regular shakshouka but with broad bean and potato
it looks so good!!!!
I just made this for the first time. Amazing.
Amazing video, amazing dish!
Amazing comment
My dad made this for my family a bit when I was younger. He almost always added chorizo to it, not sure if anyone else agrees with this but I think it makes it a lot better
First thing I thought was it needs some bacon. 😀 Chorizo works too!
Watching this just over a year later and seeing him hit 5000 subs is so wholesome ❤
So excited to try this
