Ingredients
- ½ red pepper unless small then 1 whole
- ½ onion
- 1 clove garlic small
- 2 tomato medium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 oz spanish chorizo cut in slices, approx 10 slices
- 1 teaspoon paprika (Spanish)
- 4 egg or 2, if you prefer
- 2 lices serrano ham or a little more, to taste (2 slices = approx 1oz/30g)
- 3 tablespoon pea frozen or fresh (3tbsp = approx 1oz/30g)
- 1 tablespoon parsley to top, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C and have two small oven-proof dishes ready for baking (I used 6 ½in/17cm terracotta cazuelas, but baking dishes or even small skillets will work).
- Finely chop the pepper, onion and garlic. Peel the tomatoes then finely chop. (You can peel them as you prefer but easiest is placing in a bowl, covering with boiling water and leaving a couple minutes. Then prick the skin and it should start to burst open).
- Warm the oil in a medium skillet/frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the slices of chorizo and cook for a minute or two on either side until gently crisp. Remove the slices of chorizo and set aside.
- Add the peppers and onion to the skillet and cook for around 7-10 minutes until they are both softening. Add the garlic and cook a minute more then add the tomatoes and paprika. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are breaking up a little.
- Divide the mixture between the two dishes and create slight indents in the mixture for the eggs. Crack two eggs into each dish in the indents.
- Top the dishes with the slices of chorizo, broken up pieces of Serrano ham and peas. Place them in the oven and bake for around 10 minutes, or slightly more/less depending how you prefer your eggs.
- Top the dishes with the chopped parsley and serve.

Notes
- Note the video shows one portion being made, rather than two, but the method is the same (other than quantity and dividing between dishes).
- As mentioned in post, you can prepare the tomato-pepper base sauce ahead of time and refrigerate for a day or two in a sealed container or you can freeze it, then defrost and warm gently before using and proceeding with the rest.
