Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and finely chopped
3 ounces Serrano or prosciutto ham, finely diced
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 small bay lettuce
1/4 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons olive oil
6 eggs
1/2 cup cooked peas
1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch strips
3 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
Sprigs of fresh parsley, for garnish and chunks of grilled country bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Saute the onions, garlic, and red pepper for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Add the ham and stir for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, bay leaf, salt, pepper and water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has almost all evaporated and the mixture is quite thick. Discard the bay leaf. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lightly oil a 9 x 9-inch ceramic or earthenware casserole with 2 inch sides. Spread the sofrito evenly in the base of the dish and break the eggs carefully, one at a time, in a circle on the top. Heap the peas in 3 or 4 mounds in between the eggs and arrange the asparagus and pepper strips as a sort of frame for the eggs. Sprinkle the top with sherry, if desired, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking. Garnish with a few parsley sprigs and serve at once, accompanied by chunks of grilled country bread.

Tips:

  • When choosing your eggs, look for large, fresh eggs with clean, uncracked shells.
  • To ensure the eggs are cooked evenly, bring the water to a boil before adding the eggs. This will help prevent the whites from becoming overcooked while the yolks remain undercooked.
  • If you prefer a softer yolk, reduce the cooking time by a minute or two.
  • To make peeling the eggs easier, place them in a bowl of ice water immediately after cooking. This will help to loosen the shells.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the eggs, cook them in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use a variety of vegetables in your Flamenco eggs. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms.
  • If you don't have any jamón serrano, you can substitute another type of cured meat, such as chorizo or bacon.
  • Serve the eggs with a side of crusty bread or toast to soak up all the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Huevos a la Flamenco is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
