🇪🇸 Spanish

From a wide Spanish pan: seared Eggs, a patient sofrito base, and a gentle simmer that leaves every piece glossed in deep, paprika-scented sauce.

Bell Pepper1, sliced
Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
Olive Oil2 tbsp
Eggs6
Spring Onions3, cut into batons
Smoked Paprika1 tsp
Breadto serve

Optional extras

Fresh Parsleyhandful, to finish

Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a heavy pan and start the sofrito: Garlic cooked down gently until sweet and jammy.
2
Add the Eggs and brown it properly — in batches if the pan is crowded.
3
Stir in Smoked Paprika, garlic and paprika, frying briefly until fragrant.
4
Pour in the liquid, scrape the pan base (never let it burn — fond is flavour, char is ruin), and bring to a simmer.
5
Cook uncovered until the Eggs is tender and the sauce is deep amber and spoon-coating.
6
Rest, then serve with lemon and a scatter of parsley, pan juices pooled generously.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the smoked paprika in the oil before adding anything wet.
