Huh?

soup with eggs?

because its fucking delicious

>>10407698

>suddenly so popular

It's really not. One anon just keeps posting about it on the internet for some reason.

>>10407698
avocados

that shit was popular in 2015 or so.

kinda like fisherman's eggs. Just another quick meme-food for brainlets who can't cook real actual dishes.

Chef John made it awhile back. Hadn't heard of it before then, heard tons about it since.

>>10407698
Eggs are back in style, especially baked eggs. Chaka Khan will fade back into anonymity just like raspberry vinaigrette and truffle-infused everything did.

>>10407972
Agreed. I love it, but I can't recall ever seeing anyone talk about it before Chef John made his video a couple years ago.

>>10407698
cheap. Easy to fix. Taste good. Easy to make different variations.

that thing has a name? I cook it when I have nothing in the refrigerator. I never knew it was an actual dish, it was just another struggle meal for me

>>10407698
I don't know why. It looks disgusting, and I can't imagine it being a pleasure to eat. The sauce is ruined and the eggs are not even crunchy. People try to look cool so they identify as Israeli cuisine I guess. Shakshuka simply is not cool or fancy or anything outside of Israel.

If your fried eggs aren't at least a little bit crispy when you eat them you are objectively a faggot. Crispy and over-easy fried in rendered fat is the only way to go. Chicken eggs fried in chicken fat and garnished with the fried chicken skins are as good as fried eggs get.

>>10409462

It's fucking delicious. After that it's very simple to make and colorful. It smells amazing when you make it for guests. It's also fun to make.

I hope that helps.

>>10409231
came in to post this

>>10407698
I've never heard of this but it looks fucking GOOD. Oh shit it's apparantly easy to make too.
I know what I'm making tomorrow.

>>10407698

whats the best recipe for this?
mine always tastes like shit maybe im just a shit cook

>>10408821
I've tried it, imagine dumping pasta sauce with some cinnamon on it all over some fried eggs, that's pretty much it. I got it at a breakfast joint that usually almost always has pretty good food in Boston so I don't think it was just poorly done, the dish really is that mediocre. I enjoyed it but wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again.

>>10410119
Does cumin taste like cinnamon to you or are you retarded?

>>10410119
You had shitty shakshuka. Shit's breddy gud when done well.

I can get how it could end up being like pasta sauce with eggs if done poorly. But if done right, it's nothing like pasta sauce. It's a genuinely good dish.

>>10410119
>cinnamon
fuck that unless it's in a blend

>>10410149
> if done right, it's nothing like pasta sauce
not really, it's always going to be readily comparable to pasta sauce.

>>10410119
>cinnamon
What

It's supposed to be peppery. It's a spicy tomato sauce

>>10409489
>>10409471
>ive never eaten any form of south east asian food

i thought thai food was a huge meme, i guess not

i got u >>10409462 but crispy fried eggs arent fit for everything

>>10410187
Shakshuka has poached eggs

>>10410187
>overcooked chicken and eggs with a side of fancy-peeled cucumbers
a true asian classic

>>10410187

SE Asia cooks shitty eggs because they do most of their food in 700 degree woks. It's possible to enjoy a type of cuisine while still acknowledging that many of them fuck up a single, universal ingredient.

>when a completely ordinary and normal food from your region becomes a meme fad in the west
First humus, now shakshuka, what else are you goyim gonna ruin? Kubeh?

>>10410158
That's like saying ketchup is the same as pasta sauce

>>10407698
i actually know why if you want to know
google put it on their rotating lunch menu and pushed it out to most of their offices

>>10409143
That explains the media exposure and hyperbole then.

>>10410281
Blame US jews, they own the media pushing the fads.

>>10410283
Sure, except ketchup is less similar to pasta sauce than shakshuka is.

>>10410376
Yeah, except you are wrong

>>10407730
Anon...

>>10410444
you're not 'defending' shakshuka by lying to yourself you moron. what is it about pasta sauce that makes it so fundamentally distinct from the tomato base of shakshuka?

>>10410474
Do you put bell peppers and spices other than salt and pepper in your pasta sauce?

>>10410489
yep, quite often.

Shakushka is so last year.

>>10410501
Herbs arent spices

>>10410635
Didn’t say they were

>>10410635
>>10410740
I'm not a part of your little spat, but I think everyone can agree that it's roughly similar to putting eggs in a cooked-down pasta sauce base.

It's good if made right, but you two bickering about what it's similar to is ridiculous.

>>10410790
but not every tomato sauce is automatically pasta sauce

>>10410790
Call it ridiculous if you want but you have the exact same viewpoint as I do, so if you affirm it you’re exactly as ridiculous as I am.

You take an onion base and simmer it with tomatoes to a sauce texture and of course that’s going to resemble pasta sauce. Ketchup is much more distinguished from that.

>>10410795
I'm not getting into your dumb argument. I never made that claim, so don't come at me with your strawman.

>>10410849
I'm not saying you're ridiculous or that what you're claiming is ridiculous. I'm saying arguing about it is.

Jesus, is it already summer already?

>>10410861
You just dipped your toe in you enlightened ass. You got summer on you too.

>>10410866
Nice 'no u" you got there.
Anyway, now I know what I'm making for dinner, thanks for the meme thread.

>>10410871
It’s more like a yes u. Coming into an argument you think is autistic, stating a position and then going on about how autistic it all is makes you cancer.

>>10407698
Trustfund Hipsters has a friend that talk about how AMAZING shakshuka was during their birthright trip to Israel, Trustfund Hipster always wants to sound interesting to they become evangelists for meme dish of the month and come up with totally impractical stuff like "Campfire Shakshuka"

My guess the next hipster meme food will be JACHNUN.

>>10410204
>overcook chicken

Boy you dumb

>>10410187
>crispy fried eggs arent fit for everything
Yes, they are. There is literally no instance where the texture contrast and enhanced flavor of crispy fried eggs isn't superior to non-crispy. A non-crispy fried egg is basically just a lazy stand-in for a poached or soft-boiled egg.

>>10407698
looks disgusting desu. lots of oil

>>10411284
Nothing about that picture looks oily to me, am I just not seeing it?

That is not an Israeli/Jewish dish. It is is popular in pretty much any country bordering on the Mediterranean, from Italy to Morocco. In Italy its called "eggs in purgatory".

>>10411300
I'm guessing he means the splatters of tomato. Either way he's retarded.

>>10411271
Man shut the fuck up

>>10411360
Make me faggot

>>10411271
>A non-crispy fried egg is basically just a lazy stand-in for a poached or soft-boiled egg.
Dude, it's poached in tomatoes rather than water, but it is certainly a poached egg. It shouldn't be crispy on any planet. Just stop your food pickiness.

Shakshuka as a craze is indeed a newer phenomenon, from the last couple of decades. I grew up in Miami in 30% jewish neighborhood, and saw it not even once on any menu in the 80s, 90s in Miami or Israel, and not in anyone I knew who was coming and going from Israel for family, work or partying raving about it.

As a person who knows my shit, I will say it's very similar to Italian eggs diavolo or purgatorio (devils eggs meaning spicier hot food), where eggs are literally poached in a simple chili-flake enhanced marinara sauce, often a fresh sauce just simmered down from a container or can of tomatoes. Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes, but you'd want to skin them which requires a bit of effort for mornings, but you do want it chunky. When shakshuka started making the rounds in popularity this is what it most reminded me of, and it's a lazy meal that is JUST A VEHICLE FOR GOOD BREAD, as it is in Italy. Shakshuka might be only half tomatoes, with the other half simmered peppers. It's got the extremely unbalanced amount of tomatoes to egg ratio so that you can enjoy more bites of bread with it.In italy, you might even serve right over the toast. You have pull apart bread experience to dip, whether a type of flatbread pita or the very large sesame bagel-like bread you see all over Jerusalem, the simit koulari. If you don't care for the shakshuka spice profile, it'd be preference to change it or tone it down. It reminds me of north african harissa, which is the Libyan origin of the dish, so some chefs just add too much to be "authentic". The cumin, garlic, parsley is fine, but I don't want too much coriander, saffron, caraway and other things snuck in there in a large way like carrots. To each their own.

>>10407698
>What is the next meme food?
Dragon fruit

you now get dragonfruit e-juice, sips and hipster yoghurts/ice-cream.

its a bona-fide meme

>>10411300
>>10411330
there are anons (an anon?) on here who regularly complain that all food with any sort of sheen to it is "oily"
i assume they just eat saltines and graham crackers for every meal

>>10411402
Who the fuck was talking about fried eggs in Shakushka? That's retarded given that it's a poached egg dish

Fuck off, it looks delicious and I'm making based kenji's recipe tomorrow. I couldn't give one rat's ass if it's hipster or not, it looks goat af!

Eggs were always cool.

Saute your paprika in a little oil then add your onions and garlic.
Cooking the paprika makes a yuuuuuuge difference in the flavor and smell. All the oils are released.

>>10412377
Thx, I will. I believe every recipe can be improved.

>>10408736
Plus muh multiculturalism wow I'm so aware eating ethnic foods haha I'm not a racist Stacy look at how much I love middle eastern food haha

Literally two eggs with pasta sauce. Fuckwits line up around the block for it.

>>10409462
Perhaps the use was ironic but I believe the definition of “objectively” is literally lost in this comment.

Menemen is the superior eggs dish

It was in my states newspaper a week ago.
It's cheap and easy to make and also "ethnic" so people get excited about it. It is also pretty tasty

But food multiculturalism is the only good multiculturalism. I love eating different food from all over the world. It's great. It's only a problem when retards think you need to import half the population with each recipe.

>>10407698
Every time I try this I love the sauce but hate the combination of egg and tomato. I've made it three times already and each time had to ditch the eggs and spoon around where they were cooked. The sauce is kino, but the egg component is disgusting.

>>10407698
A colleague of mine (north african) told me about it, only he called it a berber omelet. So I tied it, and later mentioned it in some thread about eggs. Since then it became super popular.

I feel responsible.

thank you for the quality post, informative and stimulating

>>10407948
Shakshuka, Eggs in Purgatory, and other eggs-poached-in-sauces recipes have been around since before your family name crawled out of whatever inbreeding cousins your ancestors came from. Your gene pool is shallow and it shows in how fucking stupid you are.

>>10411402
That's because Miami jews are afraid of their own shadows and shashuka is too "ethnic" for them

>>10408821
I thought shakshuka was african

>>10415280
Israel invited in a bunch of North African Jews, then changed their minds and basically treats them for all intents and purposes like Palestinian Muslim Arabs.
But they were happy to steal their recipes, of course.

>>10415280
The dish is from Yemen. The name is north African

>>10411445
>Who the fuck was talking about fried eggs in Shakushka? That's retarded given that it's a poached egg dish
Read earlier threads.

The dish was an amalgamation that propagated in numerous geographical locations after the columbian exchange, my main man.
