Uovo al Purgatorio

Uovo al Purgatorio

Uovo al Purgatorio, or “Eggs in Purgatory,” is a classic Italian dish where eggs are gently cooked in a rich tomato sauce until just set. This comforting recipe uses Martone Street Mediterranean Style Sauce, delivering bright tomato flavor balanced with herbs and a touch of heat. Serve it with crusty bread to soak up every bit of the sauce.

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar Martone Street Mediterranean Style Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Calabrian chili peppers, chopped finely (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 12 large eggs, separated by whites and yolks
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for finishing

Instructions

In a cast-iron, or heavy-bottomed saute pan, set over medium, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Pour in the sauce, then add the Calabrian chili peppers, if using. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the egg whites using the handle of a wooden spoon. Gently slide the yolks into the sauce and cook for about 1 minute, undisturbed. Remove from heat and top with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread.
