Poached Eggs in Red Wine Sauce

In this recipe, a tomato and wine sauce, cooked down to an unctuous thickness, forms a bed for poached eggs. In the south, around the Rhône River delta, the sauce is also a popular accompaniment to poached salt cod. Serve the dish with garlic-rubbed toasts or fresh baguette slices for soaking up the rich sauce.
