    I used green peppers instead of red, and I think it ruined the taste. Idk if I would make it again.

      I actually love green peppers! But I get it, red ones have a sweeter taste. Maybe try adding a bit of sugar next time to balance it out?

    Tasted like a fancy breakfast! I added some feta cheese on top, and it was delish!

      Yum! Feta sounds like a great addition! I’ll have to try that next time! 🥗

      I dunno, sounds kinda weird. Eggs and tomatoes? But if you like it, that’s cool.

    It’s good, but the eggs were too runny for my taste. Next time I’ll cook them longer.

    I think I messed it up. My sauce got burnt and the eggs were hard. Gotta try again.

      Maybe you left it on the stove too long? Eggs should be runny, not rock hard. Better luck next time!

      Don’t be too hard on yourself! Cooking can be tricky sometimes. Just remember to keep an eye on the heat next time. You got this!

      I don’t get it either! It looks so messy and has that weird runny egg thing going on. Yuck!

    This was really bland. I added some cheese and hot sauce to spice it up, but it still wasn’t great.

      I’m so glad you loved it! Shakshuka is such a comforting dish. I always add a pinch of feta for extra flavor!

    It was good but too much oil for my taste. Can I use less? 🤔

    1. 3 stars
      I think it won’t be the same without that much oil. Shakshuka should be a bit luxurious, you know? But do what works for you!

      You can definitely use less oil! Just start with a tablespoon and add more if needed. Cooking is all about personal preference!
