EGGS IN PURGATORY RECIPE

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

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.

UOVA IN PURGATORIO (EGGS IN PURGATORY)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over low heat. Add garlic, olives, capers, and anchovy; cook for 1-2 minutes. Add tomato passata and water, bring to a boil, and simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Add parsley and season with salt.
• Gently add eggs directly into tomato sauce without breaking the yolks. Cook until eggs are just cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.

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

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the upper-middle position. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and swirl in the extra virgin olive oil or fat of choice when the pan is hot.
• Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Toss in the mushrooms and add ½ teaspoon Magic Mushroom Powder or Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the moisture released by the mushrooms evaporates.
• Add the sausage to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook the sausage until it's no longer pink.
• Pour the marinara sauce into the pan and stir in the red pepper flakes. Continue cooking the meaty sauce until it starts bubbling.
• Divide the spicy meat sauce into four 8-ounce ovenproof ramekins or mini cocottes. Put the containers on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Use a spoon to make a small well in the center of the sauce and pour a cracked egg into each one. Sprinkle Magic Mushroom Powder (or salt and black pepper) on top of the eggs.
• Place the ramekins on the rimmed baking sheet into the hot oven. Bake until the egg whites are cooked through and the yolks are your desired consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Top with minced Italian parsley if desired, and serve with a big green salad!

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.

SPICY EGGS IN PURGATORY - ITALIAN DISH UOVA PICCANTE IN PURGATORIO

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a heavy duty skillet and warm over medium heat. Add the pepper flakes, garlic, and onion. Stir for 2 -3 minutes being careful not to let the garlic brown. Add the tomatoes and stir in the Tuscan seasoning and salt.
• Let the tomatoes with sauce come to a simmer. It has to be hot enough to poach the eggs.
• Crack the eggs and let them slide into the juice. Sprinkle some Parmesan over the eggs, leaving some of the yolk still exposed. Partially cover with lid. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. The white should be set and the yolk still runny. It goes fast so keep an eye on it.
• Remove from the heat, sprinkle with basil leaves, green onions or both. Serve with a little more Parmesan and some bread to dunk in.

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.

EGGS IN PURGATORY (ITALIAN BAKED EGGS)

Steps:

• Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. If you're using one, then finely chop the chili at the same time, remove the ribs and seeds.
• Head up the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until translucent (2-3 minutes). Add the garlic, stir and cook for a further minute.
• Add the tomatoes and cook either on the stovetop or in the oven (make sure to use an oven-safe pan) until the tomatoes become tender.I added the tomatoes whole, which takes a bit longer to cook. Alternatively, you can finely chop/mash them before adding them to the pan. I baked them in the oven at 420ºF/215ºC for about 15-20 minutes.
• Once roasted/cooked, the whole tomatoes will have released all their juice and will be easily mashable with a potato masher or just a large fork. I also remove the skins at this point (optional).
• Add the salt, pepper, chili, and a few basil leaves and stir. Allow the sauce to thicken and reduce, until it's thick enough to create slight "wells" within the sauce.
• To add the eggs you can optionally create shallow wells for them to sit within or simply crack the eggs over the dish. Some people like to first crack the eggs into a bowl or spoon and then slowly lower them into the dish, but I usually crack them directly into the pan.
• Transfer the skillet back to the oven and bake until your eggs are done to your preferred level. I like my whites cooked through and yolks soft.If you're having issues getting the eggs to cook to your desired level, you can pan-fry the eggs separately and add them to the pan when cooked. You could also cook the dish on the stovetop over low heat, with a lid, until the egg whites are cooked through.
• Once ready, top the dish with a little parmesan and some extra fresh basil and serve! Optionally drizzle with a little additional olive oil when serving.My favorite way to enjoy eggs in purgatory is with bread: crusty bread, naan, pita, soft pretzel, simit, or even served over a bagel - you can't go wrong!
• Make ahead: you can prepare the tomato sauce up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge until you're ready to reheat, add the eggs, and finish cooking. You can also freeze the sauce for up to 3 months. I recommend doing so in portions so you can thaw just the right amount each time you crave this dish.Store: while this dish tastes best fresh, the leftover tomato sauce will last up to three days in an airtight container in the fridge.Either way, when storing, I recommend only doing so with the sauce and not the eggs.Reheat: reheat the tomato sauce with a splash of water on the stovetop until simmering and then add the eggs and either bake or cover and cook until ready - then top with cheese and herbs and enjoy! Feel free to add a little salt and pepper to the top of the eggs.

EGGS IN PURGATORY

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.
