Smoked Sausage
A lot of shakshuka recipes use ground sausage. However in our recipe we prefer to use smoked sausage such as Spanish chorizo. Chorizo is our go-to with this recipe, but you can use any other smoked sausage such as kielbasa, andouille, Dice up the sausage small to get the perfect bite. Since this is a keto recipe, we eat the shakshuka without bread. The diced up sausage makes this a more fulfilling bite. You won’t be disappointed!
