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.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin

SHAKSHUKA (BAKED EGGS WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE)



Shakshuka (Baked Eggs With Spicy Tomato Sauce) image

Shakshuka means "all mixed up" in Hebrew and is one of the most popular breakfast dishes in Israel and at Sofra. Many countries in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean claim a version of their own, like Tunisian chakchouka, made with peppers and harissa, and a Moroccan version made with lamb sausage and harissa. The eggs are poached directly in the spicy tomato sauce, so it's important that the sauce is well seasoned and warmed before you add the eggs.

Provided by Ana Sortun

Categories     Dinner     Egg     Tomato     Herb     Spice

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, including the liquid
1 teaspoon Maras pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons hawayei (see Cooks' Note), or 1 teaspoon curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 eggs
6 (6-inch) store-bought pita breads or 3 Sofra Pita Breads, split in half widthwise
1/2 cup Zhoug

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • To make the spicy tomato sauce, in a large saucepan over low heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, Maras pepper, and hawayej. Simmer until the tomatoes are soft and melted, about 15 minutes. It is important to cook the sauce slowly so the tomatoes are soft enough to puree but don't reduce too much. Set the sauce aside to cool slightly.
  • Using an immersion blender and starting at low speed, puree the sauce, gradually increasing the speed as the mixture becomes smoother and resembles a silky tomato soup. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate up for up to 1 week or use immediately.
  • When you are ready to make the shakshuka, gently reheat the sauce and pour it into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish or six soufflé ramekins or small cazuelas (4 to 5 inches in diameter and at least 1-inch high).
  • To make in a 9x13-inch dish, first crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure that the yolks stay intact. Using the back of a spoon, make a divot for each egg and slide it into the sauce, one at a time, so that it doesn't float on top; leave a little space between each egg.
  • To make in individual baking dishes, set the ramekins onto a baking sheet. Ladle about 1/2 cup sauce into each dish and, using the back of a spoon, make a divot for the egg. To ensure that the yolks stay intact, first crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, then slide it into the sauce.
  • Lightly season the eggs with salt and transfer to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are just barely set and the yolks are very loose, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the shakshuka from the oven. Scoop one egg on top of each pita bread and carefully spoon a generous amount of tomato sauce from the pan over the top of the egg. Place 1 teaspoon of zhoug on top of each serving and pass around additional zhoug at the table. If serving the shakshuka individually, top each shakshuka with 2 teaspoons of zhoug and serve them with a spoon and the bread on the side so that you can use the bread or spoon to scoop up the sauce. Serve immediately with additional zhoug.

MENEMEN (TURKISH SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATO)



Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomato) image

Menemen, made from eggs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes onions, is a distinctly Turkish breakfast comfort food. Although a year-round dish, it is especially pleasing in the summer, with really ripe tomatoes from the garden or farmer's market. Be creative with this dish: Add shallots, chiles, fresh herbs or Aleppo pepper, or treat it as purists do, with only tomatoes and eggs. Cook slowly, stirring infrequently, until the eggs form billowy puffs. You can serve topped with feta cheese or lamb sausage, with any warm flatbread on the side.

Provided by Joan Nathan

Categories     breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium white onion (about 10 ounces), peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 mild but flavorful long green pepper (such as Turkish carliston, Hungarian banana or Anaheim), stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeded, then diced
1 cup peeled, chopped fresh heirloom tomato (about 7 ounces) or canned diced San Marzano tomatoes with their juices
4 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus 2 tablespoons for garnish
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
Flatbread, toasted or untoasted, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a nonstick medium skillet over medium-high. Add the onion, oregano and Aleppo pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in the green pepper and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • While the onions and peppers are cooking, purée half the tomatoes in a food processor or blender. Once the onions and peppers are soft, add the remaining chopped tomatoes to the onions and peppers. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the puréed tomatoes and whisk until foamy.
  • Once the mixture in the skillet comes to a simmer, stir in the 1/4 cup parsley and the butter, if using. Reduce heat to low, add the egg mixture on top and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste, adding a little more salt, oregano or Aleppo pepper, if needed. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve directly from the skillet, with flatbread alongside.

FRIED GRIT CAKES WITH EGGS AND TOMATO GRAVY



Fried Grit Cakes With Eggs and Tomato Gravy image

This is a unique Southern version of Eggs Benedict. It is common where I live for restaurants to serve Shrimp Creole or other dishes on top of fried grit cakes instead of over rice or noodles. The recipe uses leftover grits, but you can make them just for the recipe! Feel free to liven up the grit cakes with additional seasoning! This version of eggs benedict has the eggs served over fried grit cakes with country ham and tomato gravy.

Provided by breezermom

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 1/2 cups grits, cooked and cooled
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup bacon grease or 1/4 cup canola oil and 1/4 cup country ham drippings
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 (12 ounce) can chopped tomatoes or 12 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
salt
pepper
16 ounces country ham or 16 ounces Canadian bacon, cooked in a skillet
8 eggs, fried

Steps:

  • Take the grits after they have cooled and mix in the Parmesan Cheese and garlic powder. Add some cayenne pepper if you like things hot! Spread the mixture on a large baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator to cool for 30 minutes.
  • Take a large biscuit or cookie cutter (you can use shaped ones for the holidays!) and cut out the grit mix.
  • Place 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp pepper, and 1/2 cup all purpose flour in a small bowl and mix well. Pour onto a plate and press the grit cakes into the flour to coat both sides.
  • In a skillet over medium heat add the oil to cover the bottom. When the oil is hot but not smoking, drop in the grit cakes, browning both sides. Remove and reserve.
  • Cook the country ham or Canadian bacon in another skillet, just until browned. Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb the grease.
  • Leave 1/2 cup grease in the skillet for the tomato gravy. (You can use bacon grease instead). Heat the ham or bacon grease over medium high heat. Add 2 tbsp all purpose flour and stir until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup milk and stir until it boils. Add the tomatoes and return to a boil. Add the salt and pepper to taste. If it is too thick, add some water and stir.
  • Meanwhile, fry your eggs in the skillet you cooked the grit cakes inches
  • To assemble, place two cooked grit cakes on a plate. Place a slice of ham or canadian bacon on top of each grit cake. Place a gried egg on top of the ham or canadian bacon. Ladle the tomato gravy over the top and enjoy.

  • Fry tortillas, one at a time, until crisp, 20 to 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels and season immediately with salt.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
  • Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and let cool slightly. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat. Add the butter to the pan; when the butter melts, turn the heat to down to medium.
  • Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook, until the whites are completely firm but the yolks are still soft, about 2 minutes.
  • Combine the crema and lime zest in a small bowl. Place a few spoonfuls of the red chile sauce on four plates. Place a fried tortilla on top of the sauce. Divide the eggs over the tortillas and ladle the warm tomato-red chile sauce over. Sprinkle each with about 3 tablespoons of the cheese and some of the lime crema and garnish with the crisp chorizo and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

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.

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
Chopped parsley leaves for garnish

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.

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripened tomatoes have a sweeter and more intense flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season the tomatoes: Before cooking the tomatoes, season them with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the tomatoes until they are soft: The tomatoes should be cooked until they are soft, but not mushy. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add the eggs: Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the eggs. You can either scramble the eggs in the pan with the tomatoes, or you can fry them separately and add them on top.

Tomato and egg is a classic combination that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal.
