Most of us don’t think about making eggs for dinner, but a dish
like this is a godsend, especially when you’re feeling tired and lazy
and don’t want to go to the store (assuming you already have a can
of tomatoes, a red bell pepper, a jalapeño, and a carton of eggs on
hand). Even if you do have to shop for this, it’s a cheap and
healthy dinner you can whip up at a moment’s notice. Just make
sure to have some good bread handy at the table for mopping up
the sauce.

FOR THE SAUCE


¼ cup olive oil*
1 onion, diced
½ jalapeño, seeds and membrane removed, cut into a small
dice
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced small
1 cup Swiss chard stems, sliced thin (optional)
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand
