I've heard of this dish, but didn't know how it was made. Looks great.

Thank you! I understand it is typically served as a breakfast dish in the Mediterranean area, Egypt and so forth. My recipe did not call for honey, but I added it to tame down the acidity of the tomatoes. Sugar might work, too. I might add black olives next time, too.

Really interesting. Eggs not mixed but dropped in ?

If you're a fan of Good Eats, Alton Brown has a good episode on making shakshuka. It's a very tasty dish that I wish I could eat more often.

Yes. When the tomatoes are bubbling merrily, you make a little divot and gently break them in (or pour them in from a bowl) as if you are poaching them. Salt and pepper them, reduce heat, cover and cook for 5-8 minutes or just until the whites are set. I accidentally overcooked mine a bit, they are best when the yolk is still runny. Did I say garnish with chopped cilantro, parsley and/or green onion tops (or chives)? I also sprinkled a little shredded cheese on mine, but it didn't go as well with the flavors as I expected it to.
