Flamenco Ukunu (egg/Huevos)

Let's just say left over foods are my recent inspiration for re-purposing to any other cultural cuisine. Our dinner tonight is egg noodles and mini sausages (favorite of my finicky eaters). They were full and as you know; I refused to trash it. I looked in my pantry and saw Priscilla's Ready and eggs in the refrigerator. Then Bam! it hit me...Flamenco Huevos!!!!
Flamenco Huevos is a classic Spanish dish made with eggs, tomato base, chorizo sausage. Its variations depends on what part of Spanish you go to. Here a Nigerian girl is rocking it her way!
My version is quick and tasty with few simple ingredients;

2 eggs
5 mini sausages (You can use chorizo. I happen to have this as left over).
1/2-3/4 cup Priscilla's Ready Stew
1 ripe plantain - cut in 1/2 inch rounds
1 Roma tomato -cut in 1/2" round
Direction: Place cut plantains and tomatoes in a baking dish and broil in oven till charred or use torch as seen here to char (idea is to par cook them instead of frying). Don't over broil to avoid mushy texture after baking. (No seasoning required because of Ready Stew).

After these are par cooked, change oven temp to Bake (350 degree Fahrenheit).
Grease desired oven proof baking ramekin or clay dish etc.spray lightly  with Pam, Layer in little Stew, plantains, tomatoes, sausage. Repeat till 3/4 full. This is one serving, so I have 2 layers.

Top with remaining sauce and finally crack in 2 eggs. You can use only one if your vessel is not wide at the top. Below is what you'll have;

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or till egg whites are completely cooked and yolk slightly runny. Note; the sauce on top allows egg to poach. Here's the finished Product;

Dishes like this suggests only one thing to me...Sourdough bread...it transport these scrumptious eggs to your mouth and you do justice to it...
it is Ukunuciously egg-cellent!!! Brunch, Breakfast or anytime; Spanish or Nigeria
Have a tasty day ...from Priscilla's Kitchen to yours!
Ekpeye adhi ni o!!!
