Categories     dinner, for one, main course

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 tablespoon tamarind paste, or a 1/2-inch ball of tamarind pulp (1/4 ounce) plus 1/4 cup warm water, or 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small serrano pepper, minced more to taste, or 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes in juice
Salt
freshly ground pepper
Pinch of cayenne
1 to 2 eggs
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
3/4 cup cooked basmati rice

Steps:

  • If using tamarind paste or a tamarind ball, soak in 1/2 cup warm water for 10 minutes, strain and reserve the water.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy saucepan or a deep, straight-sided skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until it is tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chili pepper and continue to sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spices and stir together for a minute. Pulse the tomatoes with their juice a few times in a food processor or mini-chop, then add to the pan, along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the tamarind soaking water or lemon juice and the cayenne, taste and adjust seasonings. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • For one serving, remove all but about 1/2 cup of the sauce from the pan and reserve for another time. Bring the sauce in the pan to a simmer. Break the egg or eggs into a teacup, and carefully tip into the tomato sauce. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the tops of the whites are set but the yellow yolks show through. It's important that the yolk be runny. Turn off the heat. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with cilantro. Remove from the heat and serve over basmati rice.

POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE



Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce image

Spicy Mexican poached eggs in a tomato sauce are an amazing change from the regular old poached eggs or eggs rancheros! I also make a spicy black bean dip that I serve under the egg on the tortillas. Optional ingredients include fresh jalapeno, habanero, or canned chipotle peppers to your desired spice level. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, and avocado or guacamole on the side.

NORTH AFRICAN-STYLE POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY



North African-style Poached Eggs In Tomato Sauce Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, garlic, medium onion, salt, pepper, turmeric, paprika, cumin, harissa paste, tomato paste, diced tomato, large eggs, fresh parsley, baguette

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons harissa paste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
28 oz diced tomato, 2 cans
5 large eggs
fresh parsley, chopped, to serve
1 loaf baguette, to serve

Steps:

  • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to slightly brown.
  • Add the spices and harissa paste, cooking the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the point where pressing down with a spoon leaves an indent that holds its shape.
  • Taking the back of a large spoon, make 5 large indents into the sauce, using a left-to-right wiggling motion to ensure that the "walls" of the sauce are tall enough to hold an egg.
  • Crack the eggs into each of the indents, then cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  • NOTE: To speed the process up, cover the skillet with a large lid.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley, remove from heat, and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Poached Eggs in Curried Tomato Sauce

- To ensure perfectly poached eggs, use the freshest eggs possible. Fresh eggs will hold their shape better and produce a more vibrant yellow yolk. - Bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs. A vigorous boil will cause the eggs to break apart. - Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the poaching water. This will help the egg whites set more quickly and prevent them from spreading. - Gently crack each egg into a small bowl before carefully sliding it into the simmering water. This will help prevent the egg from breaking apart. - Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or for 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk. - Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs from the poaching water and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. - Serve the poached eggs immediately over the curried tomato sauce.

Conclusion

Poached eggs in curried tomato sauce is an easy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect poached eggs every time. This flavorful dish is sure to become a favorite in your home.
