This was an all time quick and easy dinner to get on the table after a busy evening, when we lived in Spain. It is a very common evening meal in Spanish homes. Had to do a important substitution though. In Spain, "Tomato Frito" ( taste very similar to our Ragu pasat sauce) is a staple. So , that is what I substituted ( a pasta sauce) in the Tomato Frito's place! :) ( You could buy pasta sauce or make your own. Also, they woudl use white rice, I used brown or Basmatti.
I made it for the family the other night and it was huge sucess! I know it sounds a bit strange, but it really is very good. Full of protein, very very econmical, and super easy. Try it out on yoru family...
Spanish Tomato, Egg, and Rice
Love: Jenny Burdge
1 dozen eggs ( or amount depending on family size)
4-6 cups of cooked rice
16-20 ounces of pasta sauce
Cook rice ( white, brown, basmatti, etc.) according to directions. You will need about 4-6 cups depending on size of family. In mean time, warm up ( or make) the pasta sauce. Keep warm after cooked.
When rice is done, add 2-4 tablespoons of butter.
Fry eggs. I make 1-3 per person ( depending on how many they woudl like.)
Spoon cooked, buttered rice into individual bowls. Pour pasta sauce over the rice. Add the fried egg(s) over the top. Top with salt and pepper.
