Spicy, Criolla Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a simple and beautifully flavorful dish of eggs gently poached in a simmering sauce of tomatoes and spices like cumin and paprika. Originating in North Africa, it’s typically finished with fresh herbs and served straight from the pan with crusty bread for scooping. 

We combined traditional Shakshuka with IT SAUCE to create a smoky and devilishly good dish that you'll want on repeat every Sunday Brunch!
