Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients

  • olive oil for frying
  • 1 small onion (or 1/2 large), sliced into half rings
  • 1/2 long red pepper deseeded and sliced into strips
  • 4 slices of Serrano ham or chorizo, chopped
  • 1/2 courgette or 1 baby courgette, cut in half lengthways and sliced into half moons
  • 10 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 eggs
  • a few fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley leaves (or a pinch of dried oregano)
  • salt to season
  • freshly ground pepper to season
  • bread to serve

Method

  • Heat a small splash of olive oil in a frying pan, add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry for two minutes over a high heat until the onion begins to brown.
  • Add the pepper and fry for two minutes more. Add the ham or chorizo and fry for another minute. Add the courgette and fry for two more minutes. Add the tomatoes and fry for another two minutes.
  • Make two depressions in the vegetable mixture and break in the eggs, then cook for two to three minutes until the eggs are set, covering the pan for the last 30 seconds. Sprinkle over a little more salt if necessary, and in any case with a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and finish with one of the herbs.
  • Serve immediately with some kind of rustic bread, or just use whatever bread you’ve got on hand.
