Make

Optional step if you want to toast your pita. Heat oven or toaster oven to 350F / 177C degrees. Toast pita for 5 to 7 minutes when oven has warmed up.
Heat up a large skillet or saute pan (choose one that has a lid) with oil over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onions, and jalapenos with some salt. Saute for ~8 minutes, until softened. Add white parts of green onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute more.
Add diced tomatoes (including liquid) and spice mix. Saute for ~4 minutes to let flavors come together.
Crack eggs directly into tomatoes. Lower heat to medium, cover, and cook for ~5 minutes, or until eggs are done to your liking.
While eggs cook, set romaine leaves, pita, and yogurt dip out on a platter.
Top shakshuka with green parts of green onions and season eggs with some salt and pepper.
Serve shakshuka with yogurt dip on the side. Dip romaine leaves in yogurt dip. Enjoy pita wedges in dip and use them to scoop up shakshuka.
