Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 white onion, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 teaspoons ancho chili powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 28-ounce can tomatoes (diced or whole)
- 5–6 eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes (e.g., Klondike golden baby potatoes)
- 2 cups kale, finely chopped
- 4 ounces goat cheese
Instructions:
- SAUCE: In a deep pot over medium heat, heat one tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions until very soft, then add the minced garlic, salt, two teaspoons of ancho chili powder, vegetable broth, and tomatoes. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
- POTATOES: In the same pot, heat the remaining one tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and remaining one teaspoon of ancho chili powder. Sauté until the potatoes are browned on the outside. Carefully add the sauce back to the pot and simmer for another 10 minutes to cook the potatoes.
- EGGS AND KALE: Stir in the finely chopped kale. Use a spoon to create small indentations in the sauce for the eggs. Crack the eggs directly into the warm sauce, cover, and cook on low heat for 10 minutes until the eggs are cooked to medium-soft yolks. Keep the cover on for an additional 5 minutes to ensure doneness.
- Serve the dish hot, topped with crumbled goat cheese, and accompanied by crusty bread for dipping and savoring the flavorful sauce.
Notes:
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less ancho chili powder to suit your taste preferences.
- For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Ensure the sauce is not too hot when adding it back to the pot to avoid splattering.
