servingsShakshuka is a North African and Middle Eastern dish made of stewed tomatoes and peppers. Although it’s traditionally enjoyed for breakfast in Israel, this dish really is great for any meal of the day. In this recipe we make a shakshuka with a green twist by using New Mexico chiles and spinach.
