Spicy eggs & chorizo

May 8, 2018 10:01 am / 1 Comment / Trudy

Spicy eggs with chirizo

Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch – double the eggs and cook in a larger pan to serve six people and serve with warm, toasted sourdough.  There is plenty of sauce, so you don’t need to double that part of the recipe.

The egg category is, without doubt, the most popular on this blog.  So much so that I’ve made it to number one on Google and have kept this position for sometime now.   Eggs are fabulous cooked in the steam oven.  It is now impossible for me to think about cooking eggs in any other way.  Quick, easy and great for when you need to cook large quantities, the steam oven gives perfect temperature control – it is the best way to get perfect eggs anyway you like them.  From hard to soft boiled, poached, scrambled or the luscious 60/60 eggs have a look at this popular post here. For a luxurious breakfast try my steam oven Eggs Benedict here. Yes, you can make the perfect Hollandaise sauce in the steam oven too!

Ingredients:  Serves 4

1 tbsp olive oil
2 good quality chorizo
½ tsp fennel seeds
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
¼-½ tsp dried chilli flakes
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp hot or smoked paprika to taste (Spanish is best)
1 punnet cherry tomatoes or 2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
4 eggs
50g fetta
chopped coriander or mint and extra olive oil to drizzle
sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
good sourdough to serve

Method:

  1. Toast the fennel seeds in a dry pan that will fit into the steam oven for a minute or two until fragrant.
  2. Add the olive oil, onion, garlic and capsicum and sauté a few minutes until soft.
  3. Move this mixture over to the side of the pan and lay in the sliced chorizo, turn when brown.
  4. Now add the spices and cook on medium heat until a little jammy.
  5. Lower the heat, add all the tomatoes and continue to cook until reduced and fragrant.   The sauce will thin down in the steam oven so it can be quite thick at this point.  This stage can be done ahead and set aside until just ready to add the eggs.
  6. When ready to serve, bring back to the simmer and taste.  Add salt and pepper and make little hollows in the tomato mixture for the eggs.  Break them into the sauce, sprinkle fetta around.
  7. Place the pan into the steam oven @ 100°C for 2 minutes.  The eggs should be perfectly cooked and the sauce thinned a little.
  8. Remove from steam oven, sprinkle over a handful of chopped coriander or mint and a drizzle of olive oil and serve into the centre of the table with toasted sourdough for dipping 🙂

One Thought on “Spicy eggs & chorizo”

    Ooh. I had never thought of eggs in the steam oven. We move into our new house in the next month and I will definitely be trying eggs in the oven. Poached eggs are a favourite here but always a struggle do enough for the whole family and have them ready at the same time.
