In southern Italy this dish has the evocative name Uova al Purgatorio. When I make tomato sauce in the summer, I freeze it in half-cup portions, which makes this meal for one easy to throw together.

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.

PERSIAN EGGS POACHED IN TOMATO SAUCE



Persian Eggs Poached in Tomato Sauce image

I am fortunate to work at a place where the manager of the cafeteria is a Moroccan native. Our mutual love of food has resulted in endless exchange of recipes, spices and samplings. (Indeed, some of the items now served in the cafeteria are recipes from this site.) One one occasion, I was lucky enough to be able to share in the lunch he prepared for the staff. I love eggs and his were just amazing. This recipe from World Vegetarian seems like a close approximate - though I know his version included a generous bit of cumin and cilantro. I'm posting the original here and will begin to tinker. Once perfected, I'll post that version as a second recipe. Will experiment to see if this works as well with canned tomatoes.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
4 -5 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
4 eggs
1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic. Stir-fry for a minute, then reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking vegetables for 3 or 4 minutes so that the onion becomes translucent with a little color around the edges.
  • Add the tomatoes and simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the sauce has cooked, use the back of a spoon to create 4 rounded wells, one in each quarter of the pan. Carefully break each egg and place into each of the hollows.
  • Cover pan with a lid leaving it partially open to allow some heat and moisture to escape. Cook until eggs reach your preferred level of doneness.
  • Carefully scoop egg with some sauce onto serving plates. Garnish with chives.
  • Serve with warmed pita or other flatbread of choice.
  • •Variation: You can make this a little spicier, add a small chili to the onions. If you do so, you may want to omit the chives and instead garnish with finely chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • To ensure that your poached eggs stay intact, use fresh eggs and bring your water to a gentle simmer before adding them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when poaching your eggs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • If you don't have a slotted spoon, you can use a regular spoon to carefully lift the eggs out of the water.
  • To make a quick and easy marinara sauce, use your favorite jarred sauce. You can also use fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs to make your own sauce from scratch.
  • Serve your poached eggs in marinara sauce over pasta, rice, or polenta. You can also top them with grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon.
  • Be sure to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs if desired.

Conclusion:

Poached eggs in marinara sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is both satisfying and delicious.
