This meal, inspired by a recipe in Barbara Kingsolver’s book “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life” shows how very good a simple, “country cookin” kind of meal can be. The runny egg yolk really makes this dish: When it breaks, it coats the braised greens and creates a rich sauce of sorts. To get a nice runny yolk and set white, stick to the lower end of the recommended cook time and touch gently, or jiggle the pan, to test doneness.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Brown Rice
  • 1 small Yellow Onion
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 3 ounces Carrot
  • 1/2 ounce Sun Dried Tomatoes
  • 6 ounces Braising Mix (could be mustard greens, kale, collards, and the like)
  • 4 small Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon PeachDish Salt (or a savory seasoning salt or kosher salt)

Instructions

1, Make the rice: In a small saucepan with a lid, combine rice and 1 cup water. Place on high heat, and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat down to low, and cook 40-45 minutes, or until all liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and keep covered.

2. While the rice cooks, prepare your mise en place: Cut or tear braising greens into 3-inch pieces. Peel and dice onion. Peel and mince garlic. Cut carrot in half lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Roughly chop dried tomato.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add olive oil. When oil is hot add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

4. Add carrot, dried tomato, and remaining 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes more.

5. Stir in the greens. Cover and cook 3-4 minutes to wilt the greens.

6. Reduce heat to medium, uncover the pan, and make 4 equally spaced depressions, each 2-3-inches wide.

7. Crack an egg into each depression. Season the whole skillet with PeachDish salt. Cover and steam 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, the egg’s center should still jiggle slightly when the pan is gently shaken

8. Uncover rice and fluff with a fork. Divide rice between 2 plates, and top with eggs and greens. Enjoy!
