Ingredients

Serves 2
  • 3garlic cloves, minced
  • 2red peppers, deseeded and sliced
  • 1yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
  • 1 x 400gtin chopped tomatoes
  • salt and black pepper
  • 1large onion, sliced
  • 1 tspsmoked paprika
  • ½ tspchilli flakes
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • 150 gcooking chorizo, sliced into rounds
  • 4eggs

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo rounds and cook for about 3 minutes, until they release their deep red oil and the edges are lightly crisp. Lift out with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Tip the onion and all the peppers into the chorizo oil and cook over medium heat for around 8 minutes, stirring now and then, until softened and starting to catch and caramelise at the edges.
  3. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Return the chorizo to the pan.
  4. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and looks glossy.
  5. Make four wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one. Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.
  6. Transfer the pan to a 180°C fan oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the whites are just set but the yolks are still runny when nudged.
