Pantry Pick: Shake It Up
Pantry Pick: Shake It Up
Pasta and tomato sauces are a staple in the American pantry; shakshuka is the Moroccan equivalent. Deriving its name from the North African Arabic word shakshek (which means shake or jiggle), shakshuka is the flavorful North African cousin of marinara made from ripe tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, onions, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, cilantro, parsley and a secret blend of six Moroccan spices. Simple, savory and sizzling with flavor, all natural Mina Shakshuka is a versatile sauce. It can also be used with pasta, on pizza or in the traditional Moroccan dish of the same name. A simple dish of poached eggs cooked directly in the sauce, shakshuka is popular for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Serve this trending global dish with fresh-baked flatbread or crusty artisan bread for sopping up every bit of this subtly spicy-sweet sauce.
