I got the
idea for these Red Eggs from Michael
Ruhlman but he referred to them as Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce. I don't think they fit the criteria of having
been poached since not all the egg was under the sauce. But they're not fried either… So I just
called mine Red Eggs.
First I
created a homemade tomato/beef sauce to use to cook the eggs in.
This had
the following ingredients;
Tin of
crushed Italian tomatoes
A cup of
Passata
Some fresh
rosemary, finely chopped (don't use very much, it's powerful)
½ a red
chilli, finely chopped
Some garlic
infused olive oil
A couple of
tsp of grated ginger
2 anchovy
fillets – chopped
Chopped up
leftover cooked steak
I seasoned
this with salt, pepper, a touch of maple syrup and lemon juice.
When you
have simmered your sauce for 20 minutes or so and are happy with its flavour,
just break the eggs into the pan gently.
When they are almost cooked (which will take about 20 minutes or so)
then sprinkle a little parmesan on top and serve on toast.
This sounds like something to make for my husband for his low-carb diet! I'm not sure what passata is and have to look it up. (It's what we call "tomato puree".) I'll bookmark it to try in the fall!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I have never seen a recipe like this! Looks like a must try!
ReplyDeleteI bet my husband would love these!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like this before! An unusual combination for sure, but I'll bet it tastes good.
ReplyDeleteThese sound good! I never quite know what to do with eggs other than the very basic stuff. This looks worth a try!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way use up leftover meat.

ReplyDeleteYum. I've made a variety of versions of this in the past, but I'm loving the idea of the anchovies in here. I also love that you simply call them Red Eggs :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious take on steak and eggs! Your sauce looks wonderful, Carole!
