Etymology [link]
Shakshouka in Tamazight means "a mixture." In Hebrew it means “all mixed up.” which is a word derived from the North African dialect [3]
History [link]
Shakshouka is a staple of Tunisian, Libyan, Algerian, and Moroccan cuisines traditionally served up in a cast iron pan with bread to mop up the sauce. It is also popular in Israel, where it was introduced by Tunisian Jews.[4] In Libya, Shakshouka is a traditional breakfast meal.[citation needed]
In Israel and Palestine, the dish has been said to challenge hummus and falafel as a national favourite, especially in the winter. .[3]According to some food historians, the dish was invented in the Ottoman Empire, spreading throughout the Middle East and Spain, where it is often served with spicy sausage. Another belief is that it hails from Yemen, where it is served with zhug a hot green paste.[3]
Similar dishes [link]
Shakshouka is similar to the Turkish dish menemen, and the Mexican breakfast dish huevos rancheros.
