Ingredients

4 servings

1 Tbspolive oil

3 Tbspred wine

2 cupsfrozen peas

2 tsppaprika

Instructions

Step 1

In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chourico for 5 minutes or until slightly browned.

Step 2

Add olive oil, onion, garlic and chile pepper. Continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion is soft and translucent.

Step 3

Add red wine to the pan, and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Stir in peas, paprika, bay leaves and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until peas are almost cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 5

Using a large spoon, create four hollows in the pea mixture, and carefully break an egg into each hollow.

Step 6

Cover skillet and simmer until the eggs are cooked as desired (7 minutes should be enough for a soft, runny yolk; 10 minutes for a hard, crumbly yolk).

Step 7

Garnish with a little fresh parsley when serving.
