Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tsp rapeseed oil
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 1 large garlic clove, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 400g can black beans
- ½ x 400g can cherry tomatoes
- ¼ tsp cumin seeds
- 1 small avocado, halved and sliced
- handful fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp of rapeseed oil. Allow it to warm up before proceeding to the next step.
- Sauté the chilli and garlic: Add the thinly sliced red chilli (deseeded) and sliced garlic clove to the pan. Cook until softened and starting to colour, releasing their fragrance and flavor.
- Cook the eggs: Crack the 2 large eggs into the pan, positioning them apart on either side. Allow the eggs to start setting but not fully cook through yet.
- Add beans and tomatoes: Spoon the black beans (with their juice) and half a can of cherry tomatoes around the eggs in the pan. Sprinkle ¼ tsp of cumin seeds over the top. The goal here is to warm the beans and tomatoes gently without cooking them further.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pan from heat once everything is warmed through. Scatter the sliced avocado and chopped coriander over the dish. Squeeze half the lime wedges over the top and serve the remaining lime wedges on the side for extra tang.
Notes
- For extra spice, leave the chilli seeds in or add a pinch of chilli flakes.
- Use fresh lime juice to brighten the dish just before serving.
- This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the creamy avocado and runny eggs.
- You can substitute rapeseed oil with olive oil if preferred.
- Add toasted bread or tortillas on the side for a more filling meal.
