What goes with shakshuka?

Shakshuka is tomato-forward, peppery, and egg-rich. Dry Provençal-style rosé works here because its dry red-fruit core, citrus edge, and light tannin bridge vegetables, seafood, poultry, and Mediterranean herbs. The important move is avoiding bold tannin where egg and dairy would dull it, staying in the same weight class as the dish, so the wine supports the food instead of becoming a separate event.
