gramsI was inspired to make this recipe from an episode of Milk Street TV. It is essentially an Neapolitan version of the Middle Eastern dish, shakshouka. Purgatory, I assume, is a reference to the mild spiciness of this dish. With garlic, tomatoes, basil and Parmesan cheese, it’s unmistakably Italian and thoroughly delicious.
Ingredients
1 TB extra virgin olive oil (15mL)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
28 oz can of diced tomatoes (793g)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary
6 large eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (30g)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn and gently packed
Directions
- Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a non-stick skillet until it begins to shimmer, then add the garlic and jalapeño. Cook, stirring frequently until the garlic starts to turn golden.
- Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to the point that you can drag your spoon through it and form a trail – 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the rosemary and use a spoon to create 6 divots in the sauce. Add an egg to each divot and add additional fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste. Cover with a lid and cook until the whites are firm, but the yolks are still runny – 5 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, uncover, and add the fresh grated Parmesan and torn basil leaves. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and serve.

Hi Steve,
Don’t know if you’ve seen this, but here is a link to some awesome looking hotdog buns. Sorry to put it here, but didn’t know how to get it to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKn4snG9cX8
Eggs in Purgatory. I have made these twice now. Very good and very filling.
Looking forward to more recipes using the pecan flour.
