The sunny flavors of Israeli food are turning up in American restaurants and home kitchens these days. “It’s a very easy cuisine to like — very vegetable driven and simple to prepare,” says Israeli-born Chef Alon Shaya, of the wildly popular New Orleans restaurants Domenica and Shaya, which just won a James Beard Award for the Best New Restaurant in the country. And no dish illustrates that better than shakshuka. Made with eggs braised in a peppery tomato sauce, this staple of Israeli home cooking traces its roots to Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen. “Every home cook has their own spin on it,” says Shaya. We asked him to share his version, which marries typical Israeli ingredients with the flavors of his new hometown, including shrimp and okra. “Once you learn to make shakshuka, you’ll be cooking it for the rest of your life,” he promises, “because everyone has a can of tomatoes or tomato sauce in the pantry, some vegetables and some eggs in the refrigerator.” Use Shaya’s recipe as a template and change it up according to what’s in season. Finish it off with a dollop of Shaya’s Green Chili Zhoug (pronounced “skoog”), a fiery Yemenite hot sauce.
