EGGS IN PURGATORY
It's unclear whether "purgatory" refers to the bubbling red tomato sauce used to poach the eggs in this easy skillet meal or the fire of the red-pepper flakes that the sauce is spiked with. In either case, this speedy Southern Italian dish, whipped up from pantry staples, makes for a heavenly brunch, lunch or light supper. Note that the anchovies are not traditional, but they add a subtle fishy richness to the tomatoes. However, feel free to leave them out.

Steps:
- In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, anchovies and red-pepper flakes and cook just until the garlic turns golden brown at the edges, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil sprig, and turn the heat to medium-low.
- Simmer, squashing tomato pieces with a wooden spoon or a potato masher, until the tomatoes break down and thicken into a sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, butter, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste.
- Using the back of a spoon, make 6 divots into the tomato sauce, then crack an egg into each divot. Cover the pan and let cook until the eggs are set to taste, about 2 to 3 minutes for runny yolks. (If the pan is not covered, the eggs won't cook through, so don't skip that step.)
- While the eggs are cooking, toast bread in a toaster or under the broiler. Rub warm toast with the cut garlic clove, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt.
- To serve, sprinkle eggs with more Parmesan and chopped herbs, then spoon onto plates or into shallow bowls. Serve with garlic toast and pass pepper flakes at the table.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.

- Heat the oil in a large nonstick fry pan over medium heat. Fry the pancakes until they are golden brown and heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pancakes to paper towels to drain. Keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven. Pour off the excess oil from the pan.
- Heat the pan over medium-low heat. Crack the remaining 4 eggs into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the white is firm, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the eggs over and cook for 30 seconds longer.

Steps:
- The day before, prepare the meats for the ragù: Sprinkle the pork shoulder and pork belly all over with salt and refrigerate overnight.
- Make the ragù: Place the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion halves, cut-side down, and brown gently for about 20 minutes, moving them occasionally. Remove the onions.
- Place the tomatoes and their juices in a bowl, season with a few pinches of salt and squeeze into chunks. Add the tomatoes and meats (including prosciutto) to the pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and cook at a very low simmer for 4 hours. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Remove the meats from the sauce and set aside for another use (added to leftover ragù, they're great over pasta). Season ragù to taste with salt.
- Make the polenta: In a medium pot, combine the polenta, 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and whisk continuously until the mixture comes together. Lower heat to a simmer and stir often with a wooden spoon until tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the chestnut flour and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cover.
- In a large sauté pan, combine 3 cups of the ragù, the basil and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Crack the eggs and distribute them evenly on top of the ragù. Give the pan a shake to ensure that the eggs do not stick to the bottom, cover with a lid and cook until the eggs have set, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Divide the polenta among warm bowls. Scoop up an egg with some ragù and place on the polenta. Drizzle the eggs with olive oil, grate ricotta salata over the top and garnish with a slice of lardo, if using. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Pour the olive oil into a frying pan, then grate in (or mince and add) the garlic, scatter in the chilli flakes and put the pan over a medium heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Tip in the tomatoes, stir in the salt, and let it come to a bubble. It's got to be hot enough to poach an egg in. Crack in the egg (or eggs), sprinkle the Parmesan over it, leaving some of the yellow yolk still exposed, and partially cover with a lid. Let it bubble for 5 minutes, by which time the white should be set and the yolk still runny, but keep an eye on it. Remove from the heat and serve - if so wished - sprinkled with a little more Parmesan and some chilli oil, and some bread to dunk in.
