Instructions

Pickles

Make the quick radish pickle: Finely slice the radish and place into a small bowl.
2 radishes
In a small pan, heat the white vinegar, sugar and salt.
¼ cup white vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt
Once the sugar and salt have dissolved and the vinegar begins to boil, pour the liquid into the sliced radish bowl and store in the fridge.

Huevos Rancheros

In a medium sized non-stick pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and turn the heat to low. Sauté the onion until the pieces are soft.
1 tsp olive oil, ½ red onion
Add the chopped garlic and half the chopped jalapeño and continue cooking until the edges of veggies begin to brown.
1 clove garlic, 1 jalapeño
Add the crushed tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste, mix and cook for about one minute. If it feels slightly dry, add a tablespoon of water.
Salt and pepper to taste, ¾ cup crushed tomatoes
Crack the egg into the sauce and cook at low heat until the whites are cooked. If necessary, cover the pan with a lid for about a minute to cook the egg whites completely. However, avoid over-cooking the egg yolk – make sure it remains runny. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
1 large eggs
If the pan is big enough, heat up the black beans on the side.
Heat the corn tortillas on a toaster or in a pan.
3 corn tortillas, ¾ cup black beans
Immediately serve the egg with the tomato sauce on top of the tortillas with a side of black beans, sliced avocado and radish pickles.
½ ripe avocado
Sprinkle the remaining chopped jalapeño, cilantro leaves and enjoy.
1 sprig cilantro/coriander, fresh

NOTES

If you don’t have/don’t want to use tortillas you can use wholemeal bread instead. Not quite the same, but just as tasty! 3 wholegrain slices should do the trick.
