Hot, spicy sauces - devils - were popular in Britain in the 19th
century. This sauce is served with poached eggs but goes equally
well with fried eggs. The sauce can be made the night before and
kept covered in the fridge. Warm through just before serving. An
egg poacher can be used.
Fry the onion in the butter for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, lemon
juice, half the vinegar, the tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce,
brown sugar, stock, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to
the boil and simmer gently for 20 minutes until fairly thick. Keep
the sauce warm.
Lightly toast and butter the crumpets or muffins, and keep them
warm.
Half fill a deep frying pan with water. Add the rest of the
vinegar, and bring to a gentle rolling boil. One at a time, crack
each egg into a cup, and slide the egg into the bubbling water.
Poach the eggs for 3 minutes. Using two spoons, gather in the egg
whites as they start to set, to give each egg a neat shape.
Lift out the cooked eggs and drain on kitchen paper. Put each
crumpet or muffin on a plate, and top with an egg. Spoon over the
hot sauce, and serve immediately.
