Leftover Strategies: Eggs Poached in Tomato-Bean Broth with Mushroom Carnitas

Heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo with tomatoes and mushroom carnitas.

Go ahead and laugh but for months I’ve been starting my day off with Zumba exercise DVDs. It’s hard work but it beats the treadmill I was using and I love how alert and awake I feel afterwards. Weight loss has eluded me but I’m more concerned about being sedentary than pounds.

One thing is for certain, I can’t just have a bowl of cereal after a workout. It would be too painful and my morning must contain a certain amount of pleasure. This breakfast of leftovers did it for me.

My Nearly Magic Tomato sauce, some leftover Alubia Blanca and mushroom “carnitas”. I used mostly bean broth with the tomatoes to make the poaching sauce. I chopped up the mushrooms to heat them through and then poached the egg in the liquid, all in a small pot.
