Best Poached Eggs In Tomatillo Sauce Recipes

POACHED EGGS WITH TOMATO CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Fill a deep 12-inch skillet with 1 1/2 inches cold water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, purée tomatoes, garlic, chile, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth, then pour through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids.
• Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then carefully pour in tomato sauce (it will splatter). Stir in cilantro and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt and sugar to taste, then reduce heat to low.
• While sauce simmers, put baguette slices in a shallow baking pan and brush with remaining tablespoon oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake until just crisp on top, about 10 minutes. Keep toasts warm in turned-off oven.
• Meanwhile, break eggs, 2 at a time, into a cup, then slide eggs into simmering water, spacing them in skillet, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Gently transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to soup bowls and season with salt. Spoon sauce generously over eggs and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with toasts.

EGGS POACHED IN TOMATO-OLIVE SAUCE

Steps:

• Smash 3 of the cloves of garlic. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion, thyme and smashed garlic and cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the gin and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice, the olives and brine and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally while breaking up the tomatoes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper.
• Make 8 shallow wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes.
• Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining 1 clove of garlic and serve with the eggs.

TOMATILLO SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the tomatillos and jalapeño and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender using a slotted spoon; add the cilantro stems, 1 1/2 cups tortilla chips, a big pinch each of salt and pepper and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large broiler-proof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, poblano and a pinch each of salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Gradually add the spinach, stirring to wilt before adding more; cook until all the spinach is wilted, then season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce from the blender into the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
• Preheat the broiler. One at a time, crack each egg into a small bowl, make a well in the sauce and add the egg to the well. Drag the edge of a rubber spatula through the egg whites (don't break the yolks). Season with salt and pepper and cook until the egg whites are just starting to set, 12 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the egg whites are set, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thin the sour cream with 1 to 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the eggs and sprinkle with the cilantro leaves. Serve with the remaining tortilla chips.
