This is one of those recipes I have been eyeing for few months now. I have been wanting to make it for few reasons. It is a combination of all things I love. Eggs? Check. Tomato? Check. Garlic? Check. Poached eggs? Never tried but would love to try. Check.
I love the way eggs get cooked by the hot simmering sauce. As you break into the eggs, yellow fluid flows and mixes up with the sauce around it. Dip a pita or any kind of bread you desire and what you get is perfection.
