Drowned Eggs
From 'Mexico The Cookbook' by Margarita Carrillo Arronte
Ingredients
- 6 tomatoes, dry roasted
- ½ onion, quartered and dry roasted
- 2 gloves garlic, dry roasted
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 1 tbsp corn oil
- 1 sprig epazote, chopped
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup peas
- Salt and pepper
- Refried beans, pinto or black, to serve
- 6 corn tortillas, to serve
Recipe
- Put the tomatoes, onion, and garlic into a blender and process until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan. Add the tomato mixture and epazote, and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the eggs to the pan one at a time, being careful not to break the yolks. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Add the stock and simmer for about 3 minutes covered, until the egg whites begin to set.
- Add the peas, cover, and cook until the egg whites have set and the yolks are still runny.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and spoon 2 eggs into each plate. ‘Drown’ the eggs in the sauce and serve with refried beans and warm tortillas on the side.
