Tunisian shakshuka

So you can guess, I am a big fan of tunisian recepies, and Shakshuka is one of the famous traditional plates you can taste.
Shakshuka originally came from North Africa--Tunisia is said to be its place of birth--but it is quite popular in the Middle East and you'll find variations of it in many other countries.
It is actually this delicious and simple tomato-pepper-potato stew. It's often a go-to quick fix when you don't have a ton of ingredients on hand and need something fast and filling. Any beginner cook can make it; in fact, it was the first dish I learned how to cook. Point of the story? Anyone can make it! And yumminess is guaranteed

  6. Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste if you don't have enough fresh tomatoes or the color doesn't look red enough. 7. Cook until the potatoes are tender, but the other vegetables still retain their form/don't break down too much. 8. Crack whole eggs on top or poach some on the side.
