Ieuan’s Huevos Rancheros
The following Mexican recipe will spice up your egg options. These Huevos Rancheros are perfect for a scrumptious breakfast, lunch or dinner. As we’ve left out the tortillas, this is a low carb and high protein meal. It will suit meat eaters and vegetarians alike, and is super quick to cook! All you need are the following:
Ingredients:
- 1 x Chopped onion,
- 1 x Chopped red and green pepper,
- Bird’s eye chillies (it’s up to you how spicy you want it!),
- 1 Chopped garlic clove,
- 400g Passata (you may want to add more dependent upon how many eggs you are having),
- Eggs,
- Sliced chorizo (again up to personal taste; to make vegetarian simply remove),
- 1 x tsp Olive oil,
- Small knob of butter.
To make this tasty dish all you need to do is the following:
Method:
- Mix the onion, peppers, chillies, garlic, chorizo, and passata in a large bowl into a salsa.
- Place the olive oil into a large skillet or pan until hot,
- Add the salsa mix into the pan, season with salt and black pepper, and warm through.
- Once warm, make a hole in the salsa, add a small amount of butter, then crack an egg into the space. Repeat this for the desired number of eggs.
- Place a lid of the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until eggs are cooked through and whites are firm.
- Serve onto a warm plate and enjoy!
If you want to add a little something extra, try adding avocado and fresh coriander to the top of the dish when serving. Alternatively add a tin of black beans during the cooking process.
