Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 90 ml
  • 1 small onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 1.25 grams
  • 1/2 tsp hot smoked Spanish paprika 1.25 grams
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1 gram
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes 410 grams
  • 1 jar cooked butter beans (same as canned) 20 oz / 570 grams
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion, roughly chop the garlic, finely chop the green bell pepper and drain the butter beans into a colander and rinse under water

  2. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil

  3. After a couple of minutes add in the chopped vegetables, mix continuously, after 4 to 5 minutes and the vegetables are lightly sauteed, add in the paprikas and cumin, quickly mix together, then add the canned diced tomatoes, drained butter beans and season with sea salt & black pepper, gently mix together, then simmer on a medium heat

  4. While the beans are simmering, heat a separate fry pan with a medium heat and add in 4 tbsp (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil

  5. Once the oils is hot but not smoking, crack in the eggs (I like to fry two at a time), cook the eggs to your liking, once they are all fried, season with sea salt & black pepper

  6. After simmering the beans for 10 to 12 minutes, remove from the heat

  7. Transfer the beans into serving dishes, top each one off with an egg and chopped fresh parsley, enjoy!
