Shakshuka 2.0 – eggplant shakshuka with vegan option. Ideal for brunch or parties.
I love Israeli food. Its probably my favorite cuisine with Mediterranean. Shakshuka is also everything I love: tomato, onions, spices and in this recipe I added eggplant.
The contrast between the softness of eggplant and the acidity of tomato is a perfect mix here. The vegetables are soft, spiced and tender. It’s nothing but delicious!
This recipe is perfect for parties of brunch and you can make it vegan or not. If you’re going for the egg version, the best part is when you dip the warm bread in the egg. Pita bread is a must here!
If youre going for the vegan version, don’t forget to top it with your favorite vegan cheese crumbled to add some creaminess and once again, dip the pita in the shakshuka!
