When life gives you lemon, you make lemonade. When life gives you tomatoes, you make Shakshukah 😋

There are many different versions of Shakshukah, but this is our favorite, where the eggs are mixed into the tomato sauce. If poached or sunny-side-up eggs is your thing, go with that! Just don’t let the tomato season end before you have some Shakshukah. 😀

Our Shakshukah could have used more eggs, but we were out. 😬🤦🏻‍♀️ It was still so yummy!!! 😋

Happy Saturday everyone! 😀

We had a wonderful cooking class at Click Willimantic last night where attendees helped preparing food, asked great questions, learned about part of the history and culture of my hometown in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia (Al-Qatif), and then enjoyed a traditional Ramadan feast (oatmeal soup, goat kebsa, harees, fūl, cucumber tomato salad, dates, luqaimat, sago, and muhalabia). Thank you for the amazing participants who made it feel more like a Ramadan family gathering than a class! Nothing makes a cook happier than diners coming back for second and third serving (or even more, judgement free zone 😀). Empty plates speak louder than words of compliments. 😀

Thank you to Click Willimantic for this opportunity! Thank you to all wonderful attendees! I look forward to seeing you again! You will receive all recipes by email soon.

PS. I missed taking pictures when the food was served. If you took pictures please text them to Spice & Lemon Kitchen at 860-773-9345.
