- Use pita to scoop up shakshuka and hummus. Dip veggies in hummus. Enjoy!

Needed more spice but super good! We added feta to the top as well to give a little extra flavor. Love this recipe so much!
0 HelpfulPretty good, but was missing parsley or cilantro. Going to try frying the eggs separately bc had a hard time getting the whites fullycooked without also getting the yolks.
0 HelpfulA little too spicy, but overall good! I would cut down on the chili powder or do jalapenos without seeds next time. Ate on top of sourdough
