Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Spanish Tomatoes on Toast

This is first, something I threw together for lunch that was good enough to recommend!

So I vaguely remember Nigella cracking an egg into some tinned tomatoes and I thought "I fancy that"

So this is what I did today.

You will need:
1/2 tin of chopped tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
just under an inch of chorizo sausage
1 egg
2 rounds of toast (or thinly slice some leftover foccacia and lightly toast)
olive oil

- finely chop the garlic and chorizo and cook them in a small saucepan on a medium heat until the chorizo has coloured all the garlic with paprikary oil.
- then add the tomatoes with some salt and pepper to the pan and mix all together. Once the mixture is bubbling,  gently crack in the egg.
- put on the lid on the pan and keep the tomatoes bubbling, once the egg has turned opaque on top it's cooked.
- gently spoon out the egg onto the toast and the rest of the tomatoey mixture. Top with plenty of black pepper and some fresh basil.

-veggies try it excluding the chorizo but add a pinch of both chilli flakes and paprika :)

enjoy!
