Tips
- Serve the shakshuka with some crusty bread, pita, or naan to sop up the delicious sauce.
- If no bread, spoon the saucy mix over a bowl of grits or rice.
- Cannellini beans are recommended for this recipe as they are larger, firmer, and don't break down easily. Garbanzo beans also work well.
