Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce
Eggs gently cooked in a warmly spiced tomato, sweet pepper, and onion sauce, then finished with fresh parsley.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
-
Step 2
Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir until fragrant.
-
Step 3
Stir in the tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Step 4
Reduce to low heat and simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens enough to hold shallow wells.
-
Step 5
Make eight wells in the sauce. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then slide it into a well without breaking the yolk.
-
Step 6
Cover and cook over low heat until the whites are fully set and the yolks reach the desired doneness.
-
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat, scatter the parsley over the eggs and sauce, and serve immediately.
