WDC Home Brew Shakshuka

In the heart of the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC, lies a modest, lesser-known building - The Richmond.  Inside The Richmond, living amongst the residents of the nation's capital is an independently trained chef who has almost perfected the art of the Shakshuka. 

There was a healthy mixture of texture and taste with no bitterness from the tomato paste. While I find many home-cooked meals can have a risk of a 50/50 hit/miss rate - (while you do hope restaurants have a much higher (but not guaranteed) hit rate) – this was a smashing homerun.

The presentation was superb – great attention to freshness and diversity in the dish. I think that one of the hallmarks of great Shakshuka is that you almost don’t realize that it is an egg dish – this was a wonderful blending of ingredients that created a scrumptious celebration in your mouth. So yummy I forwent the bread and just enjoyed a direct fork to mouth digestion. Such was my experience at The Richmond.  A hidden gem in the heart of DC (and sometimes Jerusalem).
