It’s wet, it’s grey, it’s dark at 1 o’ clock in the day, there’s a recession, the country is falling apart, I’m working too much, I NEED comfort food!! OK, maybe it’s not that bad. This recipe is a perfect “pick me up” when you need something warm and comforting, it’s as far from “fine dining” as you can get, it’s wet, sloppy, requires lots of bread for mopping and is the perfect cure for a bad mood. There’s no way to dress it up, it’s simple, rustic and soooooo delicious. I love fried eggs anyway so the addition of tomato sauce makes it even better.
what you need:
1 x 400g tin of Italian tomatoes
4 eggs
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
olive oil
6-8 leaves basil
grated Parmesan cheese
sea salt and black pepper
tsp sugar
lots of crusty bread or Parmesan mash
what to do:
1. chop your onion and garlic
2. fill the base of a pan with oil, add your onions and garlic and cook over a low heat for 7-10 mins until soft but not coloured
3. add your tomatoes and cook for 10 mins until starting to thicken, season, add your sugar and basil and cook for a couple of minutes
4. add your eggs to your sauce
5. cover and cook until the white is cooked and the yolk is soft and runny
6. season and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese
7. serve with crusty bread and enjoy the childish fuzzy feeling of breaking the egg
eat, mop, slurp……….repeat!!
buon appetito!
