How to make Shakshuka
Tamar the Shames JCC Shinshinit
We miss our Shinshinim Tamar who used to work with our ECC students (Shinshinims are Israeli gap-year students who do a year of service to the Jewish community in America). She was sent home at the beginning of March when the CODVID-19 situation got worse. We were so happy to hear from her and excited that she sent us the recipe to one of our favorite dishes—! And just in time for Passover too…it’s Kosher-for-Passover.
The ingredients:
- 4 medium tomatoes
- Half an onion
- 1 garlic clove
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Eggs (according to the number of diners)
- Optional – basil, paprika
Preparation:
- Chop the onion to cubes.
- Put some olive oil in the pan and wait for it to warm up.
