Spanish-inspired ratatouille with a fried egg and crusty bread for a delicious meat-free meal from La Mancha.
Ingredients:
  • 6 medium tomatoes - blanched, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • a generous pinch of salt
  • 2 cloves minced garlic, or more to taste
  • 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large eggs
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add tomatoes, sugar, and salt, then cook for 5 minutes. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant for about 1 minute. Then, add bell peppers, zucchini, and onion. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Combine the tomato mixture with the vegetables and stir thoroughly. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add salt, if desired.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs and cook until edges are opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are set, about 4 minutes.
  • Plate the vegetable stew evenly among 4 plates, then crown each serving with a perfectly fried egg.
