Shakshuka?
-
Post #1 - January 28th, 2017, 10:04 amI love eggs in many different ways, and I've been hearing about shakshuka all over the place. I looked at a bunch of recipes and made a version loosely based on David Lebovitz's. It's delicious, and I know it's easy to make, but is there any place, preferably north side, where I could try someone else's take on it?
For those who don't know of it it's an Israeli/Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. It's a great way to start your morning.
Thanks!

In case I'm not the only one who immediately thought of huevos rancheros...

Post #3 - January 28th, 2017, 2:24 pmI had a version at Beatrix for brunch. It wasn't as great as the Shakshuka I had in Jaffa, but it was pretty good. I believe Italians also make an "eggs in purgatory" dish that seems quite similar

I had the Eggs in Purgatory, which seems almost identical, at The Gage--it was a few years ago and doesn't appear to be on the menu now. But it was delicious!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kington

Post #6 - January 28th, 2017, 4:03 pmThe new/north iteration of Bangers and Lace serves a version on its brunch menu. It was a new dish to me, so can't offer a comparison, but I very much enjoyed it.

I didn't think their Evanston location is open for brunch...

Post #8 - January 28th, 2017, 7:11 pmOff topic a little, but if you ever end up in Miami for business (or pleasure), Zak the Baker makes the best shakshuka I've ever had, and also the best bread in the city to go with it. It's a melange of hipsters, regular Miamians, and orthodox jews, but a fun place and an interesting neighborhood to visit.

Post #9 - January 28th, 2017, 7:21 pmFor that matter, you can also try every single restaurant in Portland, OR.
As far as locally, both Avec and Publican Quality Meats have offered it, although they don't currently. (With regard to Italian and other versions although shakshuka is highly customizable, to me it's not the genuine article without cumin and chiles.)

Shakshuka vs Menemen Vs Huevos Rancheros. What’s The Difference?
The MAJOR difference that I have seen between Shakshuka and Huevos Rancheros is the preparation. In Shakshuka, the raw eggs are cooked in the tomato sauce. In every preparation of huevos rancheros I have ever seen, the eggs are prepared separately and the sauce poured over AFTER cooking. Personally, I think that there is a major difference in taste.
Having said that, when I prepare Shashuka, I generally fry a couple of eggs hard and pour over the sauce as my wife REFUSES to eat poached eggs.

That's funny, I hate fried eggs! Thanks everybody

Post #15 - January 30th, 2017, 10:18 amRevolution Brewery is offering it on the weekend brunch menu. I was told that they are going to make it permanent. I had it on Saturday and it was delicious! First time having it so I can't compare but I ate every bite.
