Warm the oil in a large, oven-safe skillet (preferably stainless steel) over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are tender and turning translucent, about 4 to 6 minutes.</li><li id="instruction-step-2" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; padding-bottom: 12px;">Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin, paprika and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until nice and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.</li><li id="instruction-step-3" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; padding-bottom: 12px;">Pour in the crushed tomatoes with their juices and add the cilantro. Stir, and let the mixture come to a simmer. Reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook for 5 minutes to give the flavors time to meld.</li><li id="instruction-step-4" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; padding-bottom: 12px;">Turn off the heat. Taste (careful, it’s hot), and add salt and pepper as necessary. Use the back of a spoon to make a well near the perimeter and crack the egg directly into it. Gently spoon a bit of the tomato mixture over the whites to help contain the egg. Repeat with the remaining 4 to 5 eggs, depending on how many you can fit. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the eggs.</li><li id="instruction-step-5" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; padding-bottom: 12px;">Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven (it’s heavy) and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, checking often once you reach 8 minutes. They’re done when the egg whites are an opaque white and the yolks have risen a bit but are still soft. They should still jiggle in the centers when you shimmy the pan. (Keep in mind that they’ll continue cooking after you pull the dish out of the oven.)</li><li id="instruction-step-6" style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; padding-bottom: 12px;">Using oven mitts (both hands!), transfer the hot skillet to a heat-safe surface like the stove. Top with the crumbled feta if desired. Serve in bowls with crusty bread on the side.</li><div class="tasty-recipes-notes" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 20px;">(From cookie and kate.com)</div></ol></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><p> </p>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13328381571058045138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661128853413643485.post-41654794086061050622021-12-28T16:34:00.002-07:002021-12-28T16:42:05.459-07:00Pasta e Fagioli<p> This one is a healthy vegetarian option that my kids really like.

<br />
This one was so delicious I just had to post it!<br />
Kristine calls it "potato curry." But really you can use any vegetables you want. It can also easily be made as vegan or vegetarian. You could also throw in some cubed chicken and not make it vegetarian at all!<br />
Anway, here's the recipe.<br />
You will need:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2 tablespoons curry powder</li>
<li>1 teaspoon garam masala (or a bit less)</li>
<li>4 T veg oil</li>
<li>1 large onion, chopped</li>
<li>3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed</li>
<li>1 tablespoon finely grated ginger</li>
<li>1 tablespoon of tomato paste (I didn't have any on hand, and it still turned out fine)</li>
<li>1 can diced tomatoes</li>
<li>1 cup water or chicken broth</li>
<li>1 can chickpeas, drained</li>
<li>1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk</li>
<li>Your choice of 3 vegetables. I used bell pepper, cauliflower, and tofu (not really a vegetable but whatever). Other ideas include sweet potato, eggplant, zucchini, peas, green beans, carrots, etc.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Directions:</div>
<div>
1. "Toast" the first two spices by warming in a dry, nonstick skillet on medium heat, until fragrant. Kristine skips this step but I went ahead and did it.</div>
<div>
2. Heat 3 T oil in dutch oven on med-high heat. Add onions and vegetables and cook until cooked and golden.</div>
<div>
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add final T of oil to pan, then throw in garlic, ginger, tomato paste, and toasted spices. Stir 1-2 min.</div>
<div>
4. Add tomatoes, water/broth, chickpeas. Stir and reduce to simmer, 15 min. Add cream jus tbefore serving.</div>
