For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the spices. If you prefer a smoky flavor, roast the bell peppers before dicing them. Serve with crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful sauce and runny yolks. For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of sugar to the tomato sauce to balance the acidity. Shakshuka is also great with a dollop of Greek yogurt or labneh on top.
