An Old Spanish shepherd recipe Recipe
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch julienne
- 2 Anaheim chiles, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch julienne
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 medium yellow onions, diced
- 4 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
- 5 ounces chorizo, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 5-inch links)
- 1 tablespoon Gallega Spice
- 3 cups breadcrumbs from a day-old sweet baguette
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
- 6 large eggs
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large frying pan over high heat until drops of water sizzle.
- Quickly fry the pepper strips in small batches until the skins begin to blister and brown slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Using a skimmer, transfer to a colander to drain.
- Season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan and add the onions.
- Cover and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Uncover, add the garlic, and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Add the chorizo and cook until it gives off most of its oil, about 3 minutes.
- Add the Gallega Spice and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Stir in the breadcrumbs, making sure they absorb all the juices from the pan, and cook until the mixture is lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the mixture among 6 individual (terra-cotta casseroles) or other shallow, ovenproof dishes and garnish with the peppers, tucking them in and around the breadcrumb mixture.
- Keep in a warm oven while you cook the eggs, or, if made ahead, reheat in a 250 degrees F oven just before you cook the eggs.
- To cook the eggs, in a small nonstick pan, heat 1/8 inch of oil over high heat to the smoking point.
- Break 1 egg into the hot oil.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Working very quickly, fold in the edge of the egg white with a heat-resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Then spoon some of the hot oil over the egg so that it puffs up and crisps around the edges.
- All of this must be done in a matter of seconds so that the yolk remains soft.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg and place it on top of a hot migas.
- Repeat for each serving.
- Serve immediately.
