About Poached eggs in tomato sauce

Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce, often known as Shakshuka, is a flavorful dish rooted in Middle Eastern and North African cuisines. It features eggs gently poached in a spiced tomato-based sauce made with fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers, and a blend of warm spices such as cumin and paprika. Packed with protein from the eggs and rich in vitamins from the tomatoes and vegetables, this dish is both nutritious and satisfying. The antioxidants in the tomato sauce, particularly lycopene, support heart health and immune function, while the eggs provide essential nutrients like vitamin D and choline. Typically served with crusty bread, it’s a wholesome option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. While healthy overall, the dish's sodium content can vary depending on seasonings and pre-made sauces, so adjustments may be needed for those monitoring salt intake.
