Eggs in Purgatory

  • Such a simple recipe based on Nigella Lawson's version. Inexpensive too.

    I did it this way-

    1 tsp. EVOO in pan
    Heat oil, added good dash cayenne pepper (had no chili flakes)
    Add crushed/minced garlic-3 cloves (put less if you want)

    Let that heat 1 min

    Pour large tin of diced tomatos in pan
    add salt and pepper to taste
    fresh basil

    Let this come to good simmer

    Crack 1-2 eggs in to set, they will poach
    add some grated mozzarella if you want or parmesan
    semi cover with lid

    when whites set dish ready
    add more fresh basil

    eat with toasted whole wheat bread if you like

    mmmmm Enjoy.

    I loved this. And I will eat it regularly now.

  • I make a similar recipe using petite diced tomatoes with geen chillies and/or hot salsa, and eat it with warmed tortillas (corn for me, since I don't eat wheat) or serve it on top of either refried beans or beans and rice.
