Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce image

Tomato sauce studded with olives forms the base for this simple stovetop-baked egg dish. Crusty bread is key for mopping up the sauce and the runny yolks.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 thyme sprigs, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup white wine
One 32-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes and olives and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally while breaking up the tomatoes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Make eight shallow wells in the sauce. Working with 1 egg at a time, crack into a small bowl, and then gently pour into a well. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes.
  • Garnish with sprigs of fresh time, if using, and serve with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.

EGGS POACHED IN CURRIED TOMATO SAUCE



Eggs Poached in Curried Tomato Sauce image

This is like a South Asian version of huevos rancheros. The sauce yields more than what you'll need for one serving. Refrigerate or freeze what you don't use.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

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.

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.

Make and share this Poached Eggs in a Tomato and Poblano Rajas Sauce recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Ambervim

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs roma tomatoes
1 garlic clove
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons oil (corn, safflower or canola)
1/2 cup white onion (slivered or thinly sliced)
3/4 lb poblano chile (3/4 lb s about 3, charred, sweated, skinned, stemmed, seeded, cut into about 2-inch slices may soak )
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon salt, kosher (more or less to taste)
8 eggs
1 cup cheese, crumbled (queso fresco, farmers or a mild feta)

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes along with the garlic and bay leaves in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, simmer until thoroughly cooked, about 10 minutes. Place tomatoes, garlic and bay leaves in the blender and puree until smooth.
  • In a large, heavy bottomed pan set over medium heat, pour in the oil. Once hot, cook the onion, stirring now and then, until soft and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the poblano rajas and let them cook for 1 or 2 minutes. Pour in the tomato sauce, sprinkle the marjoram, salt and pepper, and let it season and thicken for about 10 to 12 minutes. You can make this sauce ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • When ready to make the eggs, reheat the sauce, then lower the heat to medium-low and add the eggs one by one. It is easier if you crack the eggs into a small bowl or cup and slide them into the sauce. Sprinkle a bit of salt on top of each egg and cover the pan with its lid. Let the eggs poach until cooked. I like the yolks, still runny, which takes like 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve on plates and sprinkle crumbled cheese on top. Have warm corn tortillas or toast on the side.

1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons harissa paste

  • 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.

2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 small fresh green serrano chile, coarsely chopped

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.

Provided by justcallmetoni

Categories     Breakfast

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:

  • For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs that are at room temperature. Cold eggs are more likely to break apart when poached.
  • Add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the poaching water. This helps the egg white to set more quickly and prevents the eggs from spreading out too much.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when poaching eggs. Give each egg enough room to cook evenly.
  • Do not stir the eggs while they are poaching. This will break them up.
  • Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, 5-6 minutes for a medium yolk, and 7-8 minutes for a hard yolk.
  • To make the tomato sauce, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes are best, but you can also use canned tomatoes if necessary.
  • Add some herbs and spices to the tomato sauce to taste. Basil, oregano, thyme, and garlic are all good choices.
  • Serve the poached eggs in the tomato sauce immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Poached eggs in tomato sauce is a classic dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. It is a great option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect poached eggs every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give poached eggs in tomato sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
