Ingredients

Pickles

Huevos Rancheros

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (chopped)
  • ½ red onion (finely diced)
  • 1 jalapeño (seeded and chopped)
  • ½ cup (120 g) crushed tomatoes (canned)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup (130 g) black beans (canned)
  • 2 corn tortillas
  • ½ ripe avocado (sliced and seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon juice)
  • 1 sprig cilantro/coriander, fresh

Instructions

For the pickles

  • Make the quick radish pickle: Finely slice the radish and place into a small bowl.
  • In a small pan, heat the white vinegar, sugar and 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.
  • Add the chopped garlic and half the chopped jalapeño and continue cooking until the edges of veggies begin to brown.
  • 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.
  • Crack the eggs 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.
  • Heat the corn tortillas and black beans. I've found the beans work well in a small pan or in the microwave. You can also mix the beans into the tomato sauce if you wish. The tortilla I usually give a couple of minutes in the oven.
  • Immediately serve the eggs with the tomato sauce on top of the tortillas with a side of black beans, sliced avocado and radish pickles.
  • Sprinkle the remaining chopped jalapeño, cilantro leaves and enjoy.
