Especially for Earth Day (April 22), ShakShuk, a shakshuka restaurant on the Zuidas in Amsterdam, developed a new dish in collaboration with Beyond Meat: Spicy Beyond Merguez. The spicy sausages in this dish are normally made from animal meat, but ShakShuk replaced them with sustainable, plant-based Beyond Sausage. The new dish will be launched with a special promotion on Earth Day and will remain on the menu for a month.
Spicy Beyond Merguez is being introduced with a special promotion: ShakShuk is offering 100 dishes for free on April 22 to celebrate Earth Day. Restaurant-goers can make reservations for this through ShakShuk.

Restaurant ShakShuk also makes Beyond Köfte and Shakshuka with meat from Beyond Meat
Restaurant ShakShuk’s founders, Max Zegerius and Alphons de Vries, perfected the shakshuka – which stands for “mixture” in Tunisian Arabic and consists of a tomato mixture with fresh vegetables, strong herbs and poached eggs. In late 2021, they won a Thuisbezorgd Award for their concept. They now offer a menu with nine variations of the original recipe. The entrepreneurs also developed ‘Beyond Köfte’, a shakshuka in which lamb was substituted for Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat.
Go Beyond® Mission | Spicy Beyond Merguez
In celebration of Earth Day, ShakShuk is changing their Spicy Merguez dish to a plant-based version called ‘Spicy Beyond Merguez’. By offering plant-based meat instead of animal-based meat, ShakShuk is sharing Beyond Meat’s Go Beyond® mission and enabling consumers to continue eating what they love, but in a way that is better for the planet.
“Coming from a family of meat lovers, I am genuinely excited about Beyond Meat’s products, which have the same taste and texture as animal meat. By choosing plant-based meat, we are also making a sustainable choice,” says De Vries. “It feels good to partner with Beyond Meat to allow our customers to enjoy our beloved shakshuka dishes without sacrificing taste or a balanced lifestyle.”
“Working with food service partners like ShakShuk gives us the opportunity to inspire more people to go ‘Beyond’ and discover plant-based versions of their favourite dishes, making plant-based meat more accessible to everyone,” said Jorg Oostdam, General Manager Europe at Beyond Meat. “Beyond Meat products are made with high-quality plant-based ingredients that deliver the taste and texture of animal protein with the sustainability benefits of plant-based meat.”
