Recipe Introduction
BREAKFAST
FRIED HOT PEPPERS AND TOMATOES WITH EGGS
This is a traditional breakfast dish but is also delicious for supper
with challah and a salad. If you prefer, scramble the eggs into the
sauce.
List of Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 green chiles, such as jalapeños, finely minced
4 large or 8 small garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
5 plum tomatoes (a little over a pound), cored and coarsely chopped
Salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
4 eggsRecipe
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute the chiles,
garlic and tomato, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are soft,
about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste and cook until mixture begins to
thicken, about 8 minutes. Add the paprika and cook another few
minutes.
Break the eggs one at a time into a small dish. Gently slide each
into the pan on top of the tomato sauce. With a spoon, carefully fold
the whites into the tomatoes without breaking the yolks. When the
whites are set but the yolks are still soft, remove from heat and
serve, spooning hot sauce over the yolks and scooping up with bread.
Makes 4 servings.
