Yes, Shakshuka, Menemen, and the Italian version (called eggs in purgatory) are all eggs in tomato sauce.
The biggest differentiator in my opinion is that menemen’s eggs are scrambled and they do not include onion.
Shakshuka has runny yolk and onions. Shakshuka becomes eggs in purgatory if you make the sign of the cross over it (kidding, it’s more about the spices/herbs used).
Is this similar to shakshouka?
