Traditionally,  Traditional Shashookah recipe  is  made by sauteing chopped red peppers,  tomatoes,  onions, garlic and a little hot sauce in a skillet and then cracking some eggs to cook into the mixture.

But Stop!!! I've discovered a way you don't have to chop anything!! Here is my shortcut!!

I've discovered that a jar of chunky salsa ( gluten free of course)  creates the same delicious taste!

Since I've retired my lifestyle has changed. I don't tend to buy as much fresh produce.
 I live in the city in a small condo in a high traffic area. We tend to eat out more frequently and my fresh produce tends to wilt in my refrigerator because I don't always get to it.




So I've improvised. I found a brand of Salsa that meets my high standards. It's certified organic, its very tasty, labeled gluten free, comes in mild, medium or hot and is only $1.99. It's made by Simple Nature and is sold at Aldi's.  it contains all the ingredients I usually use to make Shakshookah.

The bonus is that it is both the salsa and the egg are zero smart points on Weight Watchers making this recipe a total of zero smart points on Weight Watchers! Love it... !!!!

In addition, if you can find a kosher for Passover jar of salsa, this would make a great breakfast for Passover otherwise you can still make the  Traditional Shashookah recipe 
 using peppers, onions, and  tomatoes for something different for breakfast or lunch!

 It's a  delicious nutritious, gluten free breakfast that is light on calories and rich in taste.

  2. I've never heard of Shashookah and combining eggs and salsa in this same way but eggs and salsa is a well-known and delicious dish, so I'm sure Shashookah is as well. I use salsa a lot in chili for the same reason, Judee. No need to chop onions or peppers or have fresh ones on hand. We have the same situation with veggies spoiling too quickly for us. Thanks for sharing!

    1. many cultures overlap with similar recipes. My husband is Middle Eastern and his mom makes Shakshookah all the time-- I've seen it called Shakshookah on many restaurant menus-- either way we love the taste

    2. So true on the overlap of dishes between different cultures, Judee. I definitely plan to give this recipe a try soon. The fact that you heat the salsa and then add the eggs intrigues me. I'm sure that method makes the combo even tastier!

  5. That is a recipe I've copied out, thought about making and never done it. Probably it was all that chopping in the morning! An excellent shortcut.
