Huevos RancHEROS
By @dmattercooks
Cooking difficulty: medium
45 minutes (Huevos Rancheros) + overnight (chill)
Serves 1
“If you have a hangover or are just a craving a delicious weekend breakfast this is the
dish for you. I suggest making a big batch of chilli the night before for dinner and using
the leftovers the next morning, the flavours really develop with time.”
Ingredients
Method
2 corn tortillas (I used La Tortilleria)
1 big bunch of coriander
1 jalapeno
5 cherry tomatoes
Leftover chilli, last night’s beef and
bean chilli
1 tbs home made or store bought
hummus
2 red onions
2 limes
Maker’s note
12
1 egg
1 tsp cayenne pepper
½ tbs parmesan
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tbs olive oil
1 cup red wine
1kg organic beef mince
1 cup beef stock
1 bag dry black beans
1 splash red wine vinegar
1 can of chipotle in adobo
4 cloves garlic
1 pinch of salt and pepper
1 tinned tomatoes
1 tsp ground cumin
“I used the best tortillas in town from La Tortilleria in Kensington.”
Beef and bean chilli – cook this the night
before and eat for dinner.
Wash and soak black beans overnight.
Rinse then boil until soft but still tender.
Chop 1 red onion and garlic.
Heat pot (dutch oven) until oil is hot.
Sauté salted onions and garlic until
lightly brown. Add and brown beef mince.
Add spices including cayenne pepper
and chipotle, when mince has slightly
caramelised sides add beans.
Add canned tomatoes, wine and brown
sugar. Mix through, reduce. At this
point I like to add some stock or water if
reduced too far.
Remember to taste! Add more spices
and heat if not fiery enough for you...
No rules with this chilli! Feel the love
and go with what you like.
Cover and let simmer for about an
hour. Keep tasting and add more stock
or water as needed.
Chop the coriander and dice the
tomatoes, jalapeno and red onion.
Heat tortillas in a cast iron pan.
Fry the egg in butter and oil, over low
heat. I tend to play with the heat to crisp
the edges. To fry the perfect egg you
don’t want yourpan too hot, you are
almost poaching the egg in the oil and
butter. When edges are crispy, drain on
paper towel.
Place heated tortillas on plate, spoon
on the chilli. Place the fried egg on
top. Arrange the chopped tomatoes,
onion and jalapeno around the egg.
Spoon on the homemade hummus
(or store bought) sprinkle with coriander,
parmesan and squeeze on some lime.
Eat with your fingers and enjoy this
fantastic breakfast.
