This is a wonderful dish from Tunisia. Shakshouka is the perfect dish for a brunch. It's very aromatic and tasty. The spice mix works superbly and is not too overpowering. The secret ingredient is the harissa (tunisian pepper paste). If you can't find it, replace it with a mix of chili and red pepper powder.
