Background

At the weekend it’s nice to have a hearty breakfast or brunch. This Spanish-style dish is basically fried eggs with courgette and chorizo, which will set up for the day. Serve it with fresh bread or a piece of toast.

Ingredients

5 cm piece chorizo
1 courgette
½ red bell pepper
1 ripe tomato, chopped
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp dried marjoram or oregano
1 Tbsp chopped parsley or coriander
Cheese, optional
2 eggs

Instructions

Take the skin off the chorizo, then cut it into small pieces.
Heat a frying pan, then add the chorizo and cook over very low heat until the chorizo releases its fat.
Meanwhile, cut the courgette into half-moon shaped slices, about 5mm thick. Cut the bell pepper into long strips.
Add these to the pan, when there is enough fat and gently sauté for 5 minutes or so, until the vegetables have softened.
Make two wells in the pan, and carefully break the eggs into them.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, according to your liking.
Season with salt & pepper and scatter some fresh herbs on top.
You can add some grated cheese, such as Manchego, if liked.
