Shakshouka is a dish that has roots both in the Middle East and North Africa, and it is a fun dish to veganize. The traditional preparation calls for eggs to be poached over tomato broth spiced up with coriander, paprika, and other flavors. But who needs the eggs? Not us! Instead, in this variation, chickpeas are added right into the sauce, along with extra vegetables, Aleppo pepper, and a hit of nutmeg for a flavorful, hearty, protein-packed situation. You don’t have to wait for breakfast to eat it, either. This Chickpea Shakshouka with Avocados and Fresh Herbs by Lisa Dawn Angerame is a great busy weeknight meal; serve it right out of the skillet with a side of crusty bread to sop up all that delicious sauce.

This is the most classic combination, and with good reason: it’s easy to make and it’s a freakin’ mouth party!
