A funny named dish packed with oriental flavors. Decidedly, this delicious dish has everything to please! The shakshuka is a simple but mouth-watering recipe. It requires little preparation, which makes it an ideal dish for your Sunday brunch.

In addition, it is a completely balanced meal thanks to eggs, which are a good source of protein. Onion and garlic also have very beneficial properties.

These foods could reduce the risk of developing certain cancers. More research is still needed but it seems that the antioxidants and sulphur compounds present in these two products are the cause for these advantages. Please note that cooking can affect these compounds. Therefore, these ingredients should be added at the end of cooking to take full advantage of all the nutrients.
