Persian Eggs Poached In Tomato Sauce

Persian Eggs Poached In Tomato Sauce


1. Put the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic. Stir-fry for a minute, then reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking vegetables for 3 or 4 minutes so that the onion becomes translucent with a little color around the edges.

2. Add the tomatoes and simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Once the sauce has cooked, use the back of a spoon to create 4 rounded wells, one in each quarter of the pan. Carefully break each egg and place into each of the hollows.

4. Cover pan with a lid leaving it partially open to allow some heat and moisture to escape. Cook until eggs reach your preferred level of doneness.

5. Carefully scoop egg with some sauce onto serving plates. Garnish with chives.

6. Serve with warmed pita or other flatbread of choice.

7. •Variation: You can make this a little spicier, add a small chili to the onions. If you do so, you may want to omit the chives and instead garnish with finely chopped parsley.
