I love eggs poached in tomato sauce. There are any great recipes out there, from any different cultures. Here is mine.
Eggs in Tomato Sauce
1T Olive Oil
1 med. onion, frenched
2 stalks of celery, sliced on the bias
1 green pepper, frenched
5 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1T chopped garlic
1 bunch fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1T Italian seasoning
1t salt
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 pound hot Italian Sausage, cooked and cut into half moons
1c shredded Mozzarella
6 large eggs
1 Loaf Italian bread, sliced, oiled and grilled
Warm a large skillet with a lid over a medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Add the olive oil and then the onions, celery, peppers, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze the pan. Add the Italian seasoning, the salt and pepper, and the tomato sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cooked sausage and simmer for 5 ore minutes. Crack 6 eggs into the sauce. Put a lid on the pan and cook until the eggs are poached to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese and cover. Bring to the table and uncover. Serve with grilled Italian bread.
This is a very satisfying meal. I often serve it for a late brunch on the weekend or for a light dinner. I sometimes make the sauce in my slow cooker while I am working. When I come home I simply pour it into a skillet and poach the eggs.
