Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Prep. time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
For 6 servings
- 1 onion , peeled and finely sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic , peeled and finely sliced
- 2 red peppers , deseeded and finely sliced
- 2 fresh red or orange chillies , deseeded and finely sliced
- 1 large dried chilli
- 3 fresh bay leaves
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 x 400 g tins of chopped tomatoes
- 2 large tomatoes , sliced
- 6 large eggs
- olive oil
- 6 tortillas
- cheese to grate
Method
- In a large frying pan on a high heat add 60 ml / 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, peppers, fresh and dried chillies, bay leaves and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 15 minutes to soften and caramelize the vegetables.
- Pour in your tinned tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a medium heat and cook for a further 5 minutes so the sauce starts to reduce down.
- When you’ve got a nice thick tomato stew consistency, lay your sliced tomatoes over the top of the mixture, push them to make 6 wells.
- Crack one egg in each well so they will poach in the thick mixture. Season and let the eggs cook for around 3 to 4 minutes.
- During this time, warm your tortillas into the oven at 180ºC/350ºF for a few minutes.
