Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 cup diced onion

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 3 tablespoons Hunt's® Tomato Paste

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon Spanish paprika

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes, undrained

  • ½ cup water

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 6 large eggs, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion in hot oil until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add roasted peppers and garlic; sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, chili powders, cumin, and paprika. Sauté until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes more.

  2. Stir in tomatoes and water. Season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes.

  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Make a well in tomato mixture for each egg; pour 1 egg into each well. Cover; poach until whites are firm and yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 5 minutes.

Cook’s Note

Serving size depends on the number of eggs you want to poach. If they are large, only 5 or 6 will fit. I now use medium eggs to get more servings with more sauce. Yum.
