3 pounds large tomatoes, chopped (about 10 cups)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 fresh basil leaves
6 large eggs
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shaved, for garnish

Baked Eggs in Tomato-Pimento Olive Sauce image

A quick tomato sauce seasoned with thyme and studded with pimento-stuffed olives forms the base for this simple stovetop-baked egg dish. Toasted garlic-rubbed country bread is key for mopping up the sauce and the runny yolks.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 fresh thyme sprigs, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup gin or white wine
One 28- to 32-ounce can whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup pimento stuffed olives, sliced plus 1/4 cup olive brine
8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices toasted country bread

Steps:

  • Smash 3 of the garlic cloves. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the smashed garlic, onions and thyme, and cook, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the gin and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes, olives and olive brine 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 8 shallow wells in the sauce. Working with 1 egg at a time, crack into a ramekin or glass measure, and then gently pour into the wells. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme if using.
  • Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining garlic clove and serve with the sauce and eggs.

HARD-COOKED EGGS IN TOMATO-ONION SAUCE



Hard-Cooked Eggs in Tomato-Onion Sauce image

This is the eggs-as-meat-style main course of hard-cooked eggs simmered in tomato sauce. Though the main recipe here is Mediterranean, and you often see this preparation in southern Italy (it's good over pasta), it is equally well known in India, where it is served with chapatti or other bread, and where the spicing is more assertive and the results even more surprising.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 dried chilies, optional
3 sprigs thyme or rosemary
8 eggs
3 cups chopped tomatoes (canned are fine)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put oil in a 10- or 12-inch skillet and turn heat to medium. A minute or 2 later, add onions, garlic, chilies if you're using them and herb. Cook, stirring, for a minute or 2, then cover pan and turn heat to medium-low. Cook until onions are very soft but not brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put eggs in cold water to cover. Turn heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover; set a timer for 9 minutes.
  • When onions are done, uncover and turn heat to medium-high. Add tomatoes, a pinch of salt and some pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture bubbles. Cook for about 5 more minutes.
  • When eggs are done, put them in a bowl of ice water, then place under cold running water until they feel cool, then peel. When tomato sauce is ready, add eggs to it; cook an additional 5 minutes or so. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnish and serve hot.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 cups tomato sauce (see 'Salsa di 5 minuti', recipe follows)
8 eggs
4 ounces scamorza or mozzarella, sliced
6 fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Dried chili peppers, crushed
1 (28-ounce) can peeled plum tomatoes, pureed
Salt
3 fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan and add the tomato sauce. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time to different spots in the pan, allowing them to cook right in the sauce. Scatter the scamorza or mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Simmer on low to medium heat, with lid on, for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, and add the torn basil leaves at the very end. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add onion, garlic, and chili peppers. Gently fry ingredients together.
  • Add pureed plum tomatoes to saucepan. Simmer on low to medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Season with salt, to taste. Add basil leaves at the very end.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes for the sauce. This will give the sauce a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the eggs will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the eggs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the eggs with crusty bread or rice.
