Huevos Rancheros
I have only tried this recipe once and there seems to be something missing, I will just have to do more research and see if there is. I had hoped to get a Spanish recipe, I think this is South American and I am told (though not sure how reliable the information is), that this dish does come from South America. Anyone knows any better, please feel free to comment. Also I am unsure of the spelling.
Serves 2
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1/4 cup celery, chopped
3/4 tsp chilli powder
14 oz tin of tinned natural tomatoes (we buy these in Spain, just use tinned if in the UK)
3/4 tsp dried oregano
4 large organic eggs
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat oil in a large frying pan
Add the onion, garlic, green pepper and celery
Cook over a medium heat until tender, stirring all the time
Add the chili powder and cook out for about 30 seconds
Add the tomatoes and oregano
Simmer for about 6 minutes or until slightly thickened
Break eggs into the sauce
Cover and cook until egg whites have set (I like the yolks to be quite soft)
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the eggs and then season
Cover and cook until the cheese has melted but not browned
