i saw this recipe for poached eggs in tomoato sauce on martha stewart this morning and made it for lunch. it was so good and really easy.

2 eggs
1/2c tomato sauce
2 slices of toast (my toast is small...)
1T parmesan cheese

heat up the tomato sauce in a small frying pan. i doctored mine up with some cayenne pepper and oregano. once its hot crack your eggs into it and cover with a lid. in the mean time toast your bread.

once eggs are cooked to your liking spoon on top of toast and grate cheese on top. i ate it with mixed greens with lemon juice and salt, but she said to serve it with cooked spinach.

calories: 390 of course this depends on what brand of tomato sauce you use and your bread. but it was rediculously filling and really tasty even though i don't usually like poached eggs. it would be good for dinner too and only took about 10 minutes, if that.

that sounds a lot like shakshooka.


Shakshooka – Pepper and Tomatoes with Eggs

“Shakshooka” describes a whole class of egg and vegetable dishes of the North African Jewish kitchen. Potatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, or other cooked vegetables might also be used.

3 parts tomatoes to 2 parts sweet peppers (varied colors add to eye appeal) to 1 part onions
Oil
Tomato paste
Garlic (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Chop or rough-dice all vegetables. Cover the bottom of a deep pot with oil (1/2-1 inch deep). Heat the oil; add the vegetables, salt and pepper, then simmer slowly uncovered, for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Add enough tomato sauce to “marry” everything together, while keeping the entire consistency very thick. Adjust seasoning.


A favorite way to enjoy shakshooka is to place 1 to 2 cups of the mixture in a frying pan or saucepan with oil or water; make two wells in the mixture and break an egg into each. Cover and heat, until the eggs are soft-cooked. Serve this either with a side of fresh salad or in a pita (add fresh vegetables such as chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and onions to the pita.)
