Good Food Corner: Spicy Fried Egg and Tomato
Add some punch to a bland winter afternoon. Dust off your frying pan and whip up some Spicy Fired Egg and Tomato for yourself or your family.
Taken from This Organic Life: Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader by Joan Dye Gussow, this recipe is great for less-than-perfect tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 mild green chili pepper
- 4 tablespoons unrefined corn oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 8 tomatoes
- 4 eggs
- salt and pepper
Procedure
- Chop the green chili pepper finely
- Fry lightly in the corn oil
- Stir in cumin and fry for another minute
- Cut tomatoes in halves and add them to the pan, salt and pepper to taste
- Fry lightly on both sides without letting the tomatoes burn
- When the tomatoes are soft, lift them onto a plate and keep warm while you fry 4 eggs in the remaining cumin and oil
- Serve immediately with 2 tomatoes for each egg
