Spanish Baked Beans with Eggs

Sometimes we don't have time for spending long time in our kitchen, or simply don't want to cook complicated dishes. In that case, 'combining' is a great idea. By combining I mean using canned, or already prepared ingredients.

Ingredients:

2-3 tbs olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 1/2 tbs flour

1 tbs paprika

1 tsp cumin powder

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cans red kidney beans (or others), drained

1 Chorizo sausage (optional), sliced

salt and pepper to taste

chili powder to taste (optional)

4 eggs

coriander leaves and Spanish onion for sprinkling

Method:

Preheat oven to 180*C; choose a pan that can be used on top of the stove and in oven.

Heat oil, saute onion. Add garlic, spices and flour. Mix well, then pour tomato can in, add beans and sausage (if using). Bring to boil; add seasoning to taste, mix well. Make space for eggs, pressing 4 times with a spoon. Place eggs into their 'nests'and bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander and spanish onion before serving.

Španski zapečeni grah sa jajima

Ponekad ne zelimo provesti mnogo vremena u kuhinji, ili jednostavno ne zelimo kuhati komplicirana jela. U tom slucaju, 'kombiniranje' je odlicna ideja. Pod kombiniranjem podrazumijevam koristenje vec upola pripremljene ili konzervirane hrane 

Potrebno:

2-3 K ulja

1 crveni luk, sjeckan

2 cena bijelog luka, sjeckan / protisnut

1 1/2 K brasna

1 K paprike

1 k kima u prahu

1 konzerva sjeckanog paradajza

2 konzerve graha (po vasem izboru; koristen crveni), ocijedjene

1 Chorizo kobasica, (po zelji) sjeckana

so i biber prema ukusu

ljuta paprika (chili) po zelji

4 jaja

lisce korijandera i ljubicasti luk sjeckan za posuti

Nacin:

Ukljucite renu na 180*C; pripremite posudu koja moze na platnu i u rernu.

Zagrijte ulje, proprzite luk. Dodajte bijeli luk, suhe zacine i brasno, Promijesajte dobro, pa ubacite paradajz, grah i kobasicu (ukoliko koristite). Dovedite do kljucanja; zacinite prema ukusu, promijesajte. Kasikom napravite 4 udubljenja i smjestite jaja na povrsinu. Zapecite oko 25 minuta.

Pospite liscem korijandera i ljubicastim lukom prije sluzenja.
