Poached Eggs in Stewed Tomatoes Recipe

  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  1. In a large skillet, saute the onion, carrot, celery, green pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the tomatoes, honey, chili powder, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until thickened. Discard bay leaf.
