Who doesn’t like eggs for dinner? If you raise your hand, then you might try this North African stew. Shakshouka is a bright and spicy one-skillet meal—a thick ragout of tomatoes and sweet peppers with runny eggs poached in the sauce.

It’s traditionally served for breakfast throughout North Africa and the Middle East, but shakshouka is also a vibrant brunch dish and a warming, homey dinner.
