This quick and easy one-pan dish serves two for dinner with a side salad and a loaf of crusty bread or buns. When fried potatoes are included in the mix, this very popular dish is known as Huevos a la Flamenca. Like so many Spanish been-based dishes, it is wonderfully delicious.
Ingredients
30 mL (2 tbsp) olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 (approx. 150-175g, 5-6 oz) smoked (cured) chorizo sausages, cut in half lengthwise, then in chunks
1 tsp honey
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp chili flakes (or to taste)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
398 mL (14 oz) can baked beans in tomato sauce
398 mL (14 oz) can red kidney beans, well drained
4 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
50 g (1 ¾ oz) grated Manchego (or sharp cheddar)
Fresh or dried parsley to garnish
Directions
In a large cast iron or similar fry pan, warm the olive oil on medium-high heat.
Add the onion and sauté for a few minutes or until the onion is starting to colour.
Add the garlic and chopped chorizo and continue to fry for another few minutes or until the chorizo is beginning to brown a little.
Add the honey, smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, Worcestershire sauce, baked beans and drained kidney beans. Stir and allow to cook gently over medium heat for about 10 minutes. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little water to loosen it up.
Using the back of a large spoon, make four indentations in the bean mixture. Crack the first egg into a small bowl, careful not to break the yolk, then gently pour it into one of the indentations. Repeat this with the remaining three eggs.
Season with salt and pepper, and let the egg cook to desired doneness (at least 6 to 8 minutes for medium yoke). Once the eggs are set, sprinkle the cheese over the surface and garnish with parsley.
Serve immediately.
Serves 2.
Nada’s Tips & Tricks: I added cooked Spanish rice to the bean mix before adding the eggs. Everyone loved this dish – filling and healthy!
