This is a sort of an Israeli take on huevos rancheros, minus the tortillas. I found the recipe in the Sunday paper a few months ago and only recently gave it a try. I have to admit I was a little leery, but it turns out to be really tasty. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
black pepper, to taste |
6 eggs |
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and sautee for about a minute, then add the tomatoes, jalapeno, paprika, and cumin. Cook, partially covered for about 15 minutes. Add tomato paste, kosher salt, and pepper, then cook for a further five minutes or so.
2. Break the eggs into the tomato mixture. Cook, partially covered, until the egg whites are set (five minutes or so). Serve hot with unleavened bread, such as matzo.
