Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
1 cup (1/2-inch) diced Spanish chorizo
1 teaspoon pimenton

1/2 cup finely grated aged manchego
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

Special Equipment: 4 (6-inch wide) flat ovenproof dishes such as terra cotta cazuelas
Coat a saucepan with olive oil, add the onions and bring to a medium heat. Season the onions with salt and sweat for 7 to 8 minutes or until the onions are soft and very aromatic. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add the chorizo and pimenton and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and season with salt. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Categories Egg Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 chorizo sausage (sliced)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 small zucchini (diced)
1×400g can plum tomatoes
1 heaped teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
4 cloves garlic (minced)
pinch dried thyme
1/4 cup sherry
1/4 cup red or white wine
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
4 eggs
salt & pepper

Steps:

In a medium deep frying pan, heat the oil over a moderate heat and fry the chorizo for 5 minutes until nice and crisp. Remove the sausage from the pan then add the onions and zucchini and chook for 5 minutes until soft and golden. Add the garlic, thyme and paprika and stir for 1 minute, add the sherry and wine and let it sizzle for 1 minute then add the tomatoes, breaking them up roughly with the back of a wooden spoon. Return the chorizo to the pan then add 1/2 cup water and season with salt & pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in the parsley and check for seasoning. Now make 4 little indentations into the sauce and break an egg in each. Turn down the heat and cover the pan. Cook for 7-10 minutes until the egg whites are set, but the yolks still soft. Take it straight to the table and serve.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the final dish will taste. This is especially important for the eggs, as they are the star of the show.
Don't overcook the eggs: Flamenco eggs are best when the eggs are still slightly runny. Overcooked eggs will be tough and dry.
Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Spanish cuisine, and it adds a delicious flavor to flamenco eggs. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
Season the eggs well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for flamenco eggs, but you can also add other spices to taste. Garlic powder, paprika, and cumin are all good options.
Serve flamenco eggs with your favorite sides: Flamenco eggs are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Potatoes, rice, and bread are all good options.
