Chock full (or should I say plates full) of ideas I came back from Israel. Every day we ate something that made my day, I tried to remember all the ingredients and wrote everything down in my little travel food notebook. At home, the list was endless… But I knew I had to make Shakshuka first.

I already knew the dish, but I never tried it. During our journey through Israel this changed. Shakshuka everywhere! In Tel Aviv we decided to eat at Dr. Shakshuka. During our preparations for Israel we saw this restaurant passing by many times on different blogs. A must-try. And so it was! After talking to Dr. Shakshuka himself he prepared us a delicious Shakshuka lunch. So simple, so pure, so fingerlicking good!

I made Shakshuka back at home and in my head I was back in Isreal. A must eat, for sure. You can eat this dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
