Classic Spanish Eggs | Huevos a la Española

Finely grate 6 tomatoes, you want to end up with about 1 1/2 cups (20 ounces / 400 grams), roughly dice 1/2 green bell pepper, finely dice 1/2 onion and roughly mince 3 cloves of garlic

Heat a fry pan with a medium heat and add in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add in the diced onion and diced green bell pepper, mix with the olive oil, after 5 minutes add in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add in 1/2 teaspoon (1.15 grams) sweet smoked Spanish paprika, give it a quick mix and then add in the grated tomato and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together and simmer on a medium heat

Meanwhile, heat a small fry pan with a medium-high heat and add in 1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil, after 3 to 4 minutes add one egg into the pan, let it sit in the hot olive oil for 1 minute, then slightly tilt the pan and using a spatula splash the hot olive oil over the egg to cook the egg whites, careful not to overcook the egg yolks, do this for about 5 to 10 seconds and then remove the egg from the pan, continue to cook your eggs with this technique until they are all done

Once the eggs are cooked, the tomato sauce should have thickend up and all the flavors have came together, remove from the heat

Divide the tomato sauce into 2 serving dishes, top off each dish with 2 fried eggs, lightly season the eggs with sea salt & black pepper, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and add one Spanish guindilla on top, serve at once, enjoy!
