Shakshuka, a vibrant dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, is a delicious and versatile meal. Proper storage is key to maintaining its flavor and preventing spoilage. Learn how to store leftover shakshuka safely to enjoy it later.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for the sauce (eggs are not ideal for freezing).

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below.

Freezing

While the eggs in shakshuka don't freeze well due to texture changes, the spicy tomato sauce base can be frozen successfully. Allow the shakshuka to cool completely, then transfer the sauce (without the eggs) to an airtight container or freezer bag, leaving some headspace. Thaw the sauce in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Freshly cooked eggs can be added to the reheated sauce.

Signs of Spoilage

Sour or off odor emanating from the tomato sauce.
Visible mold growth on the surface of the shakshuka.
Slimy or excessively watery texture of the sauce or eggs.
Discoloration of the eggs (greenish or greyish tint).
Unusual or fizzy appearance, indicating fermentation.
