Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros, translated means “ranch eggs”, might have first become popular as the breakfast of choice for workers on rural farms in Mexico but it has become a classic Mexican breakfast recipe and a very popular one outside Mexico too. There are many different variations of this dish, but the traditional huevos rancheros recipe is all about the fried eggs and warm red sauce with chorizo. There is something so delicious about cutting into the eggs and the runny yolk mixes with the delicious warm cooked sauce. For our huevos rancheros recipe, we wanted to focus on making a great homemade rancheros sauce. We feel that the perfect huevos rancheros recipe is mainly all about that tasty Mexican sauce, so why not make it the star of the show. Our recipe uses chorizo meat fried with onion, chilli and Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste. The simplicity of combining the delicious chorizo oil with the smokiness of the paste creates a beautiful base for our sauce. We then add cherry tomatoes, passata and a bit of chicken stock, all simmered down to concentrate the flavours. The eggs are poached in the sauce and garnished with lightly charred red chilli and finely chopped spring onions scattered on top. Crumbled feta cheese is then added along with chopped coriander, all of which has the sole purpose of adding extra layers of flavour. This is a great breakfast or brunch dish especially if you are having some friends around or need a hearty start to your day.
