Drowned Eggs
From 'Mexico The Cookbook' by Margarita Carrillo Arronte
These drowned eggs are completely covered in sauce, which really marinates them in the flavour, meaning every bite is as intense and flavourful as the last.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.
