The shakshuka alone comes to just over 200 calories mostly from the eggs, the pita adds another 150-200 so you can really go wild with the toppings when you make this for dinner.
You can also make the sauce ahead and just add eggs when ready to serve or even spoon into ramekins and bake in individual portions as desired, even for breakfast.
This is a red shakshuka with some spinach added for good measure, if you want a green shakshuka where spinach is the main ingredients try this Green Spinach Shakshuka.
