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 MARINARA SAUCE
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.

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!

POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE
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.

Steps:
- Pour tomatoes into a blender and puree until smooth.
- Place a deep pan over medium heat and add oil, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute until the vegetables begin to sweat out their juices, 1 to 2 minutes. Add salt, black pepper, and cumin. Pour pureed tomatoes into the pan. Add water and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
- Crack eggs into individual cups and slide gently into the simmering sauce leaving space in between. Cover the pan and cook until eggs reach the desired doneness, 3 to 7 minutes.
- Heat tortillas in a microwave oven, about 15 seconds. Place 2 warmed tortillas on each plate. Use a slotted spoon to carefully extract eggs, placing 2 on top of the tortillas on each plate. Cover eggs with remaining sauce.

PERSIAN EGGS POACHED IN TOMATO SAUCE
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.

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 during poaching.
- Use a large saucepan or skillet with enough water to cover the eggs. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Bring the water to a simmer before adding the eggs. A rolling boil will cause the eggs to overcook and become tough.
- Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. Do not drop them in, as this can cause the yolks to break.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs from the water and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Serve the eggs immediately with your favorite tomato sauce.

Eggs poached in tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
