Eggs and hot salsa – we could eat this any time of day!
Huevos rancheros – to serve 2
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 red pepper, finely chopped
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1/2 tsp dried or fresh oregano
- 2 eggs
- tortilla or pitta bread to serve
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan with a lid and gently fry the onions, peppers, chilli, garlic and oregano for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add the tomatoes and continue cooking for another 5 minutes (if it starts to look dry add a splash of water). Season well and make 2 hollows in the mixture, break in the eggs, cover and cook on a low heat for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are set. Traditionally served with tortillas but we had warm pitta bread. (Too early for a wine suggestion!)
