Sometimes during camping season, fire restrictions are implemented so that you can not prepare your go-to campfire meals. One of our readers asked us on Facebook what we and our readers would suggest as alternatives to cook on a gas stove. My answer was “Shakshuka”!!!!! This middle-eastern dish was originally cooked over a campfire and still is, in some countries. It is an Israeli camping staple and the first thing that I ate on my first camping trip there when I was in the seventh grade.
It’s quick to prepare and easy to make. Shakshuka can be eaten as breakfast or dinner and this recipe is paleo, gluten-free, vegetarian and keto-friendly. You can also make this at home on your stove top. I prefer to make mine in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven.
