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.

Time 5h15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

Chestnut Polenta With Ragù alla Napoletana
Eggs
Ricotta Salata
Lardo
1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into large chunks
8 ounces pork belly, cut into large chunks
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, peeled and halved
2 28-ounce cans San Marzano
whole peeled tomatoes and their juices
8 ounces prosciutto, cut into large chunks (see notes)
1 cup coarse-ground polenta
Kosher salt
1/4 cup chestnut flour (see notes)
Freshly ground black pepper
Handful of basil leaves
4 to 6 eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil
Chunk of ricotta salata
4 to 6 thin slices of lardo (optional) (see notes)

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.

You don't actually need to have a hangover to enjoy this for breakfast (or anytime), but there is something about this easy and quick dish of eggs cooked in a fiery tomato sauce that just hits the spot when you're in need of morning-after succour. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

Provided by Nigella

Yield Serves: 1

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small clove garlic (peeled)
¼ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
1 x 400 grams can chopped tomatoes
½ teaspoon sea salt flakes (or to taste)
1 large egg (or 2 eggs if needed)
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan (or more as needed) - see Additional Information below
1 splash of chilli oil (optional to serve)
2 slices white bread (or other bread of your choice to serve)

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.
