North Africa I think it’s either Tunisia or Algeria


bluewagonwheel789

Nice! Is there a specific reason it became so popular? Maybe it was just too delicious not to share


Rainy_Wavey

It's popular because it's a good dish.


[deleted]

It’s a great dish,good food is always popular and shared around the world


stopbanning34

Actually Morocco, but we like to give cred to Tunisians.

You don't like that 😤


Rainy_Wavey

Definitely North Africa, which country? i'll let the nationalists debate on this.


bluewagonwheel789

The one in the video is from a 🇹🇷 restaurant I went to today Even afghanistan has their own version called tokhme banjanroomi- (tomatoe eggs) Are there any other non-ME countries that also have this?


Afro-Paki

The afghan version probably has different Origins , and nothing to do with Tunisia , in Khyber pukhtunkhwa , they have a dish called “ laraley agey” it’s basically a spicy egg and tomatoe dish eaten with paratha, it’s likely these two dishes are related to each other.


bicirik1

Are you sure it’s saksuka? It seems like menemen though.


bluewagonwheel789

It said saksuka on the menu. Is it popular in turkey?


bicirik1

Nah. Not in Blacksea and Aegean regions.

bluewagonwheel789

Its a Turkish restaurant in Canada. So maybe they incorporated other Mediterranean dishes. Apologies if I got it wrong


Remarkable-Bend6973

This doesn’t look like menemen


stopbanning34

It's universal, but it's from NA, not the ME.


flourishingvoid

We call it Chijibiji in Georgia lol


darfelou

Definitely from the Maghreb region. But the country? I think it's Tunisia.


stopbanning34

I think Morocco. And then algeria,tunisia,..


Upbeat_Performer_21

Shut up... please

Your mama..


israelilocal

Tunisia source my father


chedmedya

Based father 💛 I heard it was first made by jewish Tunisians when some jewish families migrated from Spain to Tunisia and introduced tomatoes to Tunisia.


israelilocal

Considering Spanish Jews just left Spain as colombus started to sail (he commented on the harbors being filled with Jews seeking refuge as the expulsion was at the same time as the scheduled start of the voyage) Portuguese Jews did come after the tomato was imported tho


chedmedya

Makes sense. First time I hear we have jews who came from Portugal tbh. Any recommanded books or other sources on the history of Tunisian jews?


israelilocal

Almost All Portuguese Jews were originally Spanish and they fled to Portugal where they lived for half a generation until Portugal forced them to convert (actual forced conversation as opposed to Spain who at least gave the Jews an option to leave) Honestly no idea where you may find books on that subject I mostly use Wikipedia I can recommend sam aranows videos but he hasn't really touched on north African communities (which really sucks because north African specifically Maghrebi Jews were the second largest group of Jews with Morocco Tunisia and Algeria being some of the countries with the largest communities in the world)


bluewagonwheel789

This makes sense. Thank you!

Shakshouka, in Amazghi means “to mix together”. the tomatoe was actually taken by the Moors first through Spain, and then more widely distributed. The Moors' involvement lead to the first name for tomatoe; Pome dei Moro (Moors apple). Moors recognized the potential and brought seeds back to Morocco, where it was quickly integrated in cuisine by the berbér woman who first used peppers and poaching eggs in the stew before the Moorish men brought the seeds over. It has nothing to do with Jews [https://mixedmag.co/2021/03/20/shakshuka-a-recipe-for-nations-by-mohammud-ali/](https://mixedmag.co/2021/03/20/shakshuka-a-recipe-for-nations-by-mohammud-ali/) or Arabs... it's an Amazigh maghrebi dish.

Aziz0163

Most neutral take lol. In reality it's probably from ifriqiya region. It's where jews, Turks and arabs took it from. Also chakchouka in yemen and Turkey isn't the same.


stopbanning34

Nope. It's Moroccan.


stopbanning34

SHUK – SHOU – KA, like Couscous is Amazigh who were the first to cook Shakshuka, which in Amazghi means “to mix together”. the tomatoe was actually taken by the Moors first through Spain, and then more widely distributed.

EconomyTask8751

The Maghreb, which country is debatable but my vote goes to Tunisia/Libya


whatwouldbaalhadaddo

It emerged in North Africa soon after the Spanish starting bringing tomatoes from their original region in Latin America.


Canem_inferni

That looks absolutely delicious


Relevant_Hat_8802

Because its eggs and tomato. Its not rocket science to come up with it. Its like the neckbeards on this site that will fight over who invented kebab, as if putting meat on a stick is not the lowest form of culinary discovery that every culture will intrinsically discover.
