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.

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.

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.

POACHED EGGS WITH TOMATO CILANTRO SAUCE

Categories     Egg     Tomato     Breakfast     Brunch     Poach     Quick & Easy     Hot Pepper     Cilantro     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
2 lb tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 small fresh green serrano chile, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1 cup water
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro plus additional for sprinkling
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices of baguette
8 large eggs

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Fill a deep 12-inch skillet with 1 1/2 inches cold water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, purée tomatoes, garlic, chile, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth, then pour through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then carefully pour in tomato sauce (it will splatter). Stir in cilantro and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt and sugar to taste, then reduce heat to low.
  • While sauce simmers, put baguette slices in a shallow baking pan and brush with remaining tablespoon oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake until just crisp on top, about 10 minutes. Keep toasts warm in turned-off oven.
  • Meanwhile, break eggs, 2 at a time, into a cup, then slide eggs into simmering water, spacing them in skillet, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Gently transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to soup bowls and season with salt. Spoon sauce generously over eggs and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with toasts.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest eggs possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • Bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs. This will help prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add a splash of vinegar to the water to help the eggs hold their shape.
  • Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a soft-boiled egg, 4-5 minutes for a medium-boiled egg, and 6-7 minutes for a hard-boiled egg.
  • Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • For the tomato-cilantro sauce, use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Finely chop the cilantro to release its flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
  • Serve the poached eggs with the tomato-cilantro sauce immediately.

Conclusion:

Poached eggs with tomato-cilantro sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. The poached eggs are soft and tender, while the tomato-cilantro sauce is flavorful and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
