Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Hot Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 4 units Large eggs
- 1 loaf Crusty bread or baguette (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
Remove the casings from the hot Italian sausage links and crumble the sausage into the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the chopped yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.
Season the stew with dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, mixing it into the tomato stew. Simmer together for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Using the back of a spoon, make 4 small wells in the stew. Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (or longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the stew with freshly torn basil leaves.
Serve the Hot Italian Sausage Egg and Tomato Stew immediately with slices of crusty bread or baguette for dipping, if desired.
