Campsite cooking: Spicy eggs rancheros

Step 1:

Heat up the oil in a frying pan, then gently cook all the ground spices for up to a minute, making sure not to burn them.  

Add the garlic and quickly empty in the tin of tomatoes. Fill the tin with water and add to the pan.

Step 2:

Season well, add the sugar and stir. Leave to simmer until dark red in colour – this should take approximately 20 minutes.

Step 3:

When the sauce is thickened, make four indentations in the liquid and crack an egg in each. Cover the pan with a lid or plate to keep in the steam, and cook over a very gentle heat for around 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked how you like them.

Step 4:

When the eggs are cooked, take off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and sliced chilli if you like it really spicy.

Serve on a plate with crusty bread or toast for dipping.

Top tip:

Sprinkle with hot sauce for some extra kick.
