Poached Eggs with Roast Potatoe,capsicum,chorizo & coriander


  Eggs, are so versatile, don't you think. You can poach, fry, scramble them. They can be made savory or sweet.
They are what I call, fast food, the original quick meal & so much better for you.
This is the type of food I love,especially for weekend brunch. On this particular day I made this dish for dinner.
I put this dish on the menu at the last cafe I worked at, before I left professional cooking.I'd label this dish as modern Portuguese, it has all the ingredients the Portuguese love, chorizo, potatoes, coriander & eggs.

Ingredients
  • 6 medium potatoes, skin on
  • 2 Spanish onions,chopped chunky
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 chorizo, sliced
  • 1 bunch coriander, chopped
  • 2 capsicum, cut into chunks
  • 2 tea paprika
  • 2 tea mixed herbs, dried or fresh
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 200ml olive oil
1. Cut all the ingredients, separating each item into bowls. 


2. Place the potatoes in a baking dish & sprinkle with 1 tea paprika, 1 tea herbs, salt & pepper,coriander stalks & coat the potatoes with 100ml olive oil. Bake in the oven for 20 min at 180 degrees, shaking the pan once in a while.

3. In a bowl add the rest of the ingredients, as well as the rest of the spices, herbs & oil.

4. Add the ingredients to the potatoes & bake till a further 20min.

5. Once cooked add the coriander leaves.

6. Leave in a warm place while you poach the eggs.



Poached Eggs
  • 1 or 2 eggs
  • 4 cups water
  • 50ml white vinegar
1. In a deep saucepan add the water & vinegar & then bring the water to a boil, once boiling turn down the heat & simmer.

2. Crack your eggs into the water & cook for 1 1/2 min, your eggs will be soft if you want it harder then cook a further 1 min.  

3. Place the potato & chorizo mix on a plate & then top your egg on top.
