Like many Middle Eastern dishes, Shakshuka's origin is often disputed. However, it is usually narrowed down to three places; Yemen, North Africa, and Isreal. I can't be certain who is responsible for this delicious dish, but one thing for sure, it's not an Assyrian dish. To learn more about the origins of this popular dish, check out this great post. In some countries, like Morroco, Shakshuka is cooked in a Tagine. However, more often, Shakshuka is cooked on the stovetop in a cast-iron skillet and sometimes finished off in the oven.
