SICILIAN EGGS IN PURGATORY (UOVA IN PURGATORIO)

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat up the olive oil and arrabbiata sauce over medium low flame. Once it starts to simmer try making tiny wells in the sauce with a wooden spoon.
• Crack and drop the eggs in each of those wells. Allow them to gently simmer in the sauce until the egg whites have set around the yolks, about 5 minutes. If you want the top part to steam a little as well, just cover the pan for the last minute of cooking, making sure to keep an eye on it as eggs cook very fast.
• Remove pan from heat and season with the sea salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Just before serving drizzle the parsley pesto all over the top and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and basil.
• Serve with charred pieces of garlic bruschetta or over a bed of creamy polenta.

EGGS IN PURGATORY RECIPE - CALABRIAN RENDITION WITH SPICY NDUJA

Steps:

• Place the oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic pieces to the pan and sweat the garlic until it the oil bubbles vigorously around the slices. Remove the garlic slices and discard.
• Add the onion to the pan and sweat slowly over a medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until soft. We do not want the onions to colour, just to be translucent and fragrant. Add the remaining garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the 'nduja and the tomato paste and sweat the 'nduja until it becomes soft and almost liquid.
• Add the tomatoes to the pan and crush them down a little. Season with salt and simmer over a low heat for 45 minutes. We want a relatively thick sauce but if it becomes too stiff, add a little water. Taste for seasoning.
• Add the roasted red peppers and stir into the sauce.
• When ready to bake the eggs, break each egg into an individual cup. Make indents into the sauce for the eggs to sit in. We don't want the egg whites to spread across the surface of the sauce. Turn the heat up to get the sauce to have a light simmer.
• Carefully pour each egg into each indent. Put the lid on the pan to cook the eggs. This should take just a few minutes.
• We like our eggs with a runny yolk, but if you like the egg yolks harder, keep cooking until the yolks become lighter in colour and do not wobble when you move the pan.
• Remove the pan from heat and to serve individually, carefully remove each egg 'pocket' with a large serving spoon onto the individual plates.
• Drizzle some olive oil over your baguette slices, top the eggs and sauce with basil or parsley and the grated cheese.

Steps:

• Drizzle olive oil into a skillet set over medium heat. Once the olive oil begins to shimmer, add in the onions and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato sauce, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with half of the parsley and allow the tomato sauce mixture to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Break an egg into a small bowl and using a large spoon, make an indention in the tomato sauce mixture. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
• Top with the grated cheese, salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook until the whites of the eggs are set and the egg yolks are cooked to the desired level of doneness. Remove cover from the skillet and remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve.

EGGS IN PURGATORY (OR BASICALLY, ITALIAN SHAKSHUKA!)

Steps:

• SAUCE: Grab a large skillet that you have a lid for. Starting in a cold skillet, add the olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally so nothing burns. Then kick up the heat to medium-high, add the onions and continue to stir and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and season with a generous sprinkling of salt. Add the chopped parsley and basil and cook over medium-low heat until it reaches a simmer. Then, let simmer for 12-14 minutes.
• EGGS: Add a cracked egg into a bowl. Using the back of a spoon, make a well in the sauce. If the well holds for 30-40 seconds, the sauce has reduced. If it doesn't allow for it to continue cooking for a few more minutes. Then gently add the cracked egg into the prepared divot. Repeat this with the remaining eggs. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes if you prefer runny egg yolks, and another 1-2 minutes for more firm eggs.
• BREAD: While the eggs are cooking, drizzle the bread with a little olive oil and toast on a hot grill or griddle. Rub with a clove of cut garlic if you want it to be extra special and sprinkle with a hint of Maldon salt.
• FINISH: When the eggs are done, serve topped with additional chopped basil/parsley with fresh parmesan (optional) on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired.

• Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, letting it wilt.
• With the back of a spoon, make 4 indentations in the sauce. Crack one egg inside of each, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the whole dish.

Steps:

• In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, anchovies and red-pepper flakes and cook just until the garlic turns golden brown at the edges, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil sprig, and turn the heat to medium-low.
• Simmer, squashing tomato pieces with a wooden spoon or a potato masher, until the tomatoes break down and thicken into a sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, butter, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste.
• Using the back of a spoon, make 6 divots into the tomato sauce, then crack an egg into each divot. Cover the pan and let cook until the eggs are set to taste, about 2 to 3 minutes for runny yolks. (If the pan is not covered, the eggs won't cook through, so don't skip that step.)
• While the eggs are cooking, toast bread in a toaster or under the broiler. Rub warm toast with the cut garlic clove, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt.
• To serve, sprinkle eggs with more Parmesan and chopped herbs, then spoon onto plates or into shallow bowls. Serve with garlic toast and pass pepper flakes at the table.

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a frying pan, then grate in (or mince and add) the garlic, scatter in the chilli flakes and put the pan over a medium heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Tip in the tomatoes, stir in the salt, and let it come to a bubble. It's got to be hot enough to poach an egg in. Crack in the egg (or eggs), sprinkle the Parmesan over it, leaving some of the yellow yolk still exposed, and partially cover with a lid. Let it bubble for 5 minutes, by which time the white should be set and the yolk still runny, but keep an eye on it. Remove from the heat and serve - if so wished - sprinkled with a little more Parmesan and some chilli oil, and some bread to dunk in.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Stir 1 egg in a large bowl to blend. Mix in the potatoes, then the flour. Using a generous 1/2 cup of potato mixture for each, form the potato mixture into 4 (4 1/2-inch) diameter pancakes.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick fry pan over medium heat. Fry the pancakes until they are golden brown and heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pancakes to paper towels to drain. Keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven. Pour off the excess oil from the pan.
• Heat the pan over medium-low heat. Crack the remaining 4 eggs into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the white is firm, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the eggs over and cook for 30 seconds longer.
• Spoon the sauce onto 4 plates. Place a pancake atop the sauce. Top each pancake with a fried egg. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve.
