Eggs in purgatory eaten on board, the recipe.
Eggs in purgatory are a traditional Italian dish, particularly popular in the south of the country. This dish with an evocative name is characterized by simple but tasty ingredients, and is often appreciated for its simplicity and goodness.
The recipe requires the use of a few basic ingredients: eggs, tomato, olive oil, garlic and parsley. The preparation is equally simple but the result is a dish rich in flavor.
Here is a basic recipe for preparing eggs in purgatory, taking inspiration from the dish prepared on board by Maitre’d Gianni a few contracts ago.

Ingredients:

– Eggs (as many as you like);
– Ripe tomatoes (preferably peeled and chopped);
– Olive oil;
– Garlic (minced);
– Onion, cut into strips;
– Fresh parsley (minced);
– Salt and pepper to taste.

Procedimento:

In a non-stick pan, heat a little olive oil and add the chopped garlic and onion. Fry lightly without burning them.
Add the chopped or peeled tomatoes and cook for a few minutes, lightly crushing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon to obtain a more homogeneous consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the sauce cook until it thickens slightly.
Using a spoon, create spaces in the sauce and break the eggs one at a time, cooking them in the sauce without stirring too much. You can leave the eggs whole or stir them lightly, depending on your preference.
Cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking until the eggs are as cooked as you like.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Eggs in Purgatory can be enjoyed on their own or accompanied with crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce. This dish is a great example of how Italian cuisine can transform simple ingredients into dishes full of authentic flavors.
