Shakshuka
Serving: 1 serving, 2 eggs (~350 g)
Shakshuka is eggs poached in a spiced tomato-and-pepper sauce. On its own it is protein-rich and relatively moderate, but the bread for dipping is where the calories climb.
Nutrition per serving
Good to know
- The sauce is light; olive oil and any added sausage or cheese drive most of the fat.
- Two pitas or a half baguette on the side can add 300+ calories.
- It is naturally vegetarian and gluten-free until you add the bread.
