Huevos rancheros

This is a classic Mexican breakfast dish – eggs surrounded by a sweet-tasting mixture of red peppers and tomato – but you can eat it at any time of day. It’s great as it is or served with tortillas and guacamole or slic ed avocado.

Serves 2–4 (v)

PREPARATION TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

25 minutes

25g (1oz) butter

2 red onions, peeled and finely chopped

1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into 1cm (½in) dice

2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped

Good pinch of cayenne pepper

2 tsp ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes

Good pinch of granulated or caster sugar

4 eggs

25g (1oz) Cheddar cheese

* Melt the butter in a large frying pan on a medium heat and, when foaming, add the onions, red pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper and cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes or until the onions and pepper are soft and lightly browned.

* Stir in the tomatoes and sugar and cook for about 5 minutes or until the liquid has reduced a little.

* Use a spoon to make 4 wells in the mixture, then break an egg into each of the 4 spaces. Season with salt and pepper, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3–4 minutes or until just set.

* Grate over the cheese, replace the lid on the pan for a few seconds, then serve.
