Spicy Egg One Pot

This year as an EggCentric Ambassador for British Lion Eggs along with the British Egg Information Service, I will be sharing lots of  delicious, yet quick and easy, egg based recipes. They are so often used within dishes but rarely star as the key element so it's time to give them the spotlight they so rightly deserve. After all, they are packed with vitamins, they make a great alternative to your usual protein at dinner and they are relatively low cost too. 

This recipe can be created in one pan in under half an hour, saving more time to spend with your family, without compromising on taste! The peppers and tomatoes provide so much flavour while the chilli gives a little added kick. I cook a lot of Mexican style food including fajitas and tacos, as I like that everyone can just dig in and combine various foods together, and this can be set in the centre of the table for the same. 


Spicy Egg One Pot Recipe


Ingredients

2 onions
2 cloves of garlic
2 peppers (we used green and yellow)
1 red chilli deseeded and sliced 
1 tsp chilli powder
400g passata 
200g chopped tomatoes
6 eggs


Method

Warm the pan over a medium heat and add in the onions, peppers, red chilli and garlic. Let it soften for a few minutes while stirring.



Mix in the chilli powder and heat for a moment before adding in the passata and chopped tomatoes.

Stir well ensuring everything is well covered and then lower the heat and leave the sauce to simmer for around 10 minutes.




Crack the eggs one at a time and place them carefully into the sauce, leaving space between each. 

Increase the heat slightly so the sauce is bubbling and let the eggs cook through. If you prefer, poach the eggs in a pan of hot water, drain and add them in afterwards.




I suggest serving with some crispy potatoes or freshly baked bread to mop up any leftover juice.

Feel free to adapt the recipe to your taste - if you feel it may be a little hot for little peeps you can always leave out the chilli whereas if you love a bit of spice add in some more.

The Mini Mes generally have an egg each whereas the Mr and I opt for two. Eggs are surprisingly filling so this is particularly good to cook after a day of sports or clubs. This recipe just goes to show, you don't have to have them boiled or scrambled, they can be the hero and used in lots of exciting ways!
