EGGS IN PURGATORY



Eggs in Purgatory image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling on toast
2 large cloves garlic, 1 thinly sliced and 1 halved
3 anchovy fillets, minced (optional)
Pinch of red-pepper flakes, more to taste and for serving
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large sprig fresh basil or rosemary, or a pinch of dried rosemary
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, more for serving
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, more to taste
6 eggs
Sliced crusty bread, for serving
Small handful chopped basil or parsley, for garnish

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.

ROASTED ARTICHOKES WITH PARMESAN BREADCRUMBS



Roasted Artichokes with Parmesan Breadcrumbs image

Artichokes were one of those vegetables that really intimidated me. They just seemed so hard to prepare. But, once you get the hang of it, it's really easy. I like to serve mine with a lemon-garlic aioli for dipping.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lemons
2 medium artichokes
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the artichokes: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Add water.
  • Trim the top 1 inch off the tops of the artichokes. Use kitchen shears to trim the pointy edges off the leaves. Trim the ends of the artichokes. Cut the artichokes in half through the centers. Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy chokes and the purple leaves. Place the artichokes in the lemon water as you work to prevent them from browning.
  • Shake off the water from the artichokes and place, cut-sides down, in a small baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the artichokes are tender, 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet. Add the panko and cook until toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove to a small bowl and let stand until room temperature, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest, Parmesan and parsley.
  • Make the lemon-garlic aioli: Stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, turn over the artichokes and sprinkle with the panko mixture, stuffing some between the leaves. Drizzle or dip with the aioli.

CRISPY PARMESAN EGGS



Crispy Parmesan Eggs image

How can you make runny-yolked fried eggs even better? Give them edges of crisp, salty Parmesan. The addition takes just a few extra minutes and adds an incredible layer to a dish that's already deeply lovable. Make sure to skip preground Parmesan here: You'll want to shred the cheese yourself on the largest holes of your grater. And use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan to fry the eggs. They may never come off a regular pan. Eat them alone, lay them over asparagus, or use them to top a sharp, lemony salad. When something's this perfect, it's hard to go wrong however you serve it.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup coarsely grated (not ground) Parmesan
4 eggs
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil into a thin layer on the bottom of a 10-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and place over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan in an even layer covering the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes until cheese begins to melt.
  • Crack eggs onto cheese, then cover pan and cook until eggs are starting to set but are not cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and turn heat to medium-high to finish cooking eggs for another 1 to 2 minutes, until edges are crisp and golden brown. Make sure the cheese doesn't get too brown; if it goes past light golden, turn down heat. To serve, season eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

WHIPPED RICOTTA SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC-PARMESAN BREADCRUMBS



Whipped Ricotta Spaghetti with Garlic-Parmesan Breadcrumbs image

Provided by Grant Melton

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lemon, zested (about 1 teaspoon zest)
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti
One 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the breadcrumbs: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Immediately add the breadcrumbs and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Add the lemon zest, Parmesan and parsley. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions, until al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Process until super creamy, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • Drain the spaghetti, leaving behind 1/2 cup of the cooking water in the pot. Add the butter to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add the spaghetti and the ricotta mixture. Remove from the heat and stir vigorously with a pair of tongs until the ricotta and pasta water combine to make a smooth, velvety sauce. Season with a good amount of black pepper.
  • Divide the pasta among serving bowls and top each with a hearty sprinkle of the breadcrumbs.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1/4 teaspoon dried basil.
  • If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use another hard cheese, such as Romano or Asiago.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs. They should be cooked through but still have a slightly runny yolk.

Conclusion:

Eggs in Purgatory is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. The crispy herbed Parmesan breadcrumbs add a delicious crunch and extra flavor to the dish. This recipe is also very versatile.
