Garvinque Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Wasn't sure where to place this because it can be a side, technique, or consider poultry because of the eggs if someone thinks that it should be placed in another section feel free to do so! African-Style Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce Servings: 4-5 INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium onion, diced 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon cumin 2 tablespoons harissa paste 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 14-ounce cans of diced tomatoes 5 large eggs Chopped parsley, to serve Bread, to serve PREPARATION In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to slightly brown. Add the spices and harissa paste, cooking the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the point where pressing down with a spoon leaves an indent that holds its shape. Taking the back of a large spoon, make 5 large indents into the sauce, using a left-to-right wiggling motion to ensure that the “walls” of the sauce are tall enough to hold an egg. Crack the eggs into each of the indents, then cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking. To speed the process up, cover the skillet with a large lid. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, remove from heat, and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce Garvin Enjoy! Edited March 27, 2017 by Garvinque 3
tony b Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 I've made this several times, but slight variation on this one. My version is more Israeli/Lebanese, which has sliced potatoes in it. 2
