Just a note for the post on Food52: shakshuka, while popular in Israel and the middle east, is not Israeli or middle eastern. It comes from northwest Africa. It is an African dish. It came about with the introduction of tomatoes to Africa.
I'm so sick of this intentional effort to brand Middle Eastern and North African culture as Israeli. These dishes predate the first Israeli settlements by centuries.
I made shakshuka for breakfast this morning. I love it and make it quite often. I have not tried mint. I use a lot of garlic and a combination of jalapeno and serrano. I, also, use fresh tomatoes and add some tomato paste if needed.
I have asked several times why the video is called “Amanda messes up in the kitchen” ? Also wanted to comment that I find the comments posted on the screen during the video are sometimes sarcastic and critical. Hoping someone from Food52 could comment please. Thanks.
It's called that because she messes up a lot, but in an endearing way. Some people can't take watching this kind of casual approach to cooking, so snark is what happens. Amanda is one of the founders of Food52, so I don't think she worries much about the insulting comments some feel the need to leave.
I look forward to Amanda "messing up" (aka: cooking like the rest of us) weekly! Maybe I'm the only one bothered because I have neurological issues, but the new background music is getting in the way of my ability to watch.
“These eggies lacked za’ata-a-a-a-ar!” Sorry. That was just a terrible attempt at a pun-ish callback to the fact that Weird and Gilly was an ingredient in this.
I was making salsa, had a few habeneoros, wearing gloves! , the knife I was using cut me right through the glove, it didn't cut the glove, , but it cut me, so the oils from that pepper were awful, I had to go to bed with my finger in a glass of water, if I'd touched my eye I would probably not have that eye anymore. I'm sorry that that happened to you.
Hi, it'd be really cool if you credited the original dish (Shakshuka) as Tunisian/North African, instead of keeping it vague and sneaking in the usual misleading Israeli reference. These dishes predate the first Israeli settlements by centuries. Cultural theft is ugly, and pro-Israel influencers do it on the daily.
I know several different versions of this dish. There's an Italian one called "Eggs in Purgatory". There's a Spanish dish called Huevos a la Flamenca. Is it really theft when so many cultures figured that eggs and tomatos taste good together? Tomatos originated from Central America, after all. Heck, I've done this in my own kitchen before knowing what Shakshuka is because I thought ketchup and eggs taste great, so spaghetti sauce and eggs must taste better.

👍👏👏 exactly!

@@nas8318 tomatoes didn’t come to the old world until at least the 16th century lol what are you talking about
@@ak-yr4dt
Yes, and the first Israeli settlements were in the 1940s.
History much?
@@nas8318 no…they weren’t… first israel settlements were in neolithic times
Shakshuka in the title is appropriate in my opinion
It's missing a few key ingredients (bell pepper, paprika, cumin, etc.) to be called shakshuka imo.
@@realjuan It seems that it was inspired by it so I stand by what I said honestly
@@realjuan in my family we make it without Bell Pepper. It is still shakshouka.
@@realjuan I thought shakshuka is by definition tomatos with eggs in it. There is no bell pepper.
@@realjuan cumin!!! bell papper?!!🤭 sorry but what shakshuka you are talking about?!! OUR shakshuka does NOT have any of these ingredients 🙊.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this looked like shakshuka lol
We eat a similar egg and tomato Chinese dish almost every other day, it's a staple!

Yeah it's the mint that throws me...

Weird & Gilly is a David Bowie reference! That brewery released a few with a David Bowie theme.

It wouldn't hurt you if you called it by it's name Shakshuka
Happy to watch another upload :)
So true queen!
If you like heat, follow an authentic Shakshuka recipe.
This sounds like the most delicious thing ever
i saw this because of the algorithm and shes super cool! i wish she was my aunt lmao
“These eggies lacked za’ata-a-a-a-ar!”
Sorry. That was just a terrible attempt at a pun-ish callback to the fact that Weird and Gilly was an ingredient in this.
It's like a western/European shakshuka😂
I just can't get my head around tomatoes / eggs/ mint.. ?
I don't like shakshuka. But tomatoes and mint are common combination in a lot of Middle Eastern and North African dishes.

That "Flaky AF" Pin Tho. #MustHave #PieLoversUnite
At least admit it’s inspired by shakshuka

It's shakshuka. Just call it shakshuka. You didn't invent this dish, it already existed for decades.
Looks delicious but an awful lot of sauce to egg. Just my opinion.
