This is another Maltese classic dish. It is very easy and quick to prepare. I love it and I could eat a whole Ħobża maltija [Maltese bread loaf] with this dish. That is how it is eaten in Malta. It is a very old dish and I can remember eating it everywhere...from my mum, to both of my nannas and also my mum-in-law. Eggs and tomatoes go very well together, in fact there are loads of dishes which consist from these two ingredients from the Tunisian dish Ojja to Huevos Rancheros which is a very famous dish in Spanish speaking countries. So here is what you will need...
- 4 eggs
- 1 large tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 small onion, chopped
- Salt & pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Crusty bread, to serve
How to...
- Fry the onion in the oil for a few minutes until soft and transparent.
- Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt & pepper and simmer covered for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
- Turn the heat to low and crack the eggs in the pan and stir to combine the tomato sauce with the eggs until the eggs are set,
- Serve with crusty bread.
Enjoy!!
