This dish called Shakshuka in Arabic and it means a “mess”.

It is one of the most known traditional dishes in the Middle East.

I remember growing up watching my mom make her delicious Shakshuka. I helped her prepare it so much and eating so much as well.

The Harissa (a paste made from red-hot chilies, cumin, and ton of other spices) is what gives it that signature delicious taste and depth of flavors.

All I can say about this dish is amazingly delicious!
