This 100%. Shakshuka is a beautiful and versatile dish. I love throwing whatever I can think of into it.
I’ve made it spicy with kimchi, adobo sauce, any hot sauce (truff is my favorite atm), etc.
I’ve used whatever cheese is in the fridge that week (Brie, manchego, gouda, etc). it’s even better if you pair cream cheese chunks with whatever cheese you use.
Mix up whatever spices you want with it, or make it as simple as possible.
Shakshuka is great with Naan, toast of any kind (olive bread is my fav), hawaiian rolls, etc. Anything you can use to clean the bowl works well, you’re going to want to!
This is actually solid relationship advice overall, no one wants to be challenged on their views - oftentimes those who are challenged become incredibly defensive & double-down on their beliefs in irritation. Discussing it peacefully & respectfully will allow an opportunity for growth.
