Savoury eggs in tomato sauce
Savoury fitness breakfast
Shakshouka, huevos rancheros or uova in purgatorio – this breakfast dish is based on a spicy tomato sauce with eggs poached in the sauce, topped with fresh herbs. In an Arabian kitchen, this national dish is traditionally prepared in a cast-iron pan or tagine. Flat bread with a savoury sauce is also traditionally served with it.
