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.

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.

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.

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.

EGGS POACHED IN MARINARA SAUCE



Eggs Poached in Marinara Sauce image

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, for one, main course

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup marinara sauce, made with fresh or canned tomatoes
Pinch of cayenne (optional)
A couple of leaves of basil, slivered
1 to 2 eggs
Salt
freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan
1 or 2 slices country bread, preferably whole-grain, toasted and rubbed with a cut clove of garlic

Steps:

  • Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan or an 8-inch omelet pan and turn the heat to low. Add the cayenne, if desired, and the slivered basil.
  • Break the egg or eggs into a teacup, and carefully tip them 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 yolk shows through. It's important that the yolk be runny. Turn off the heat. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle on the Parmesan.
  • Serve in a wide soup bowl, on top of the garlic toast or with the toast on the side.

  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality oil with a fruity flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the sauce until it reaches your preferred flavor.
