Baked Eggs With Lentils image

A dish inspired by Spain that is ideal for supper or brunch. Sometimes I make it as a dip and served with pita without the eggs.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup green lentil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 green pepper, seeded and diced
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
1 lb tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
4 tablespoons water
salt and pepper
4 eggs
2 tablespoons sherry wine, pale dry
fresh parsley sprig

Steps:

  • Bring the lentils to the boil in a large kettle of water and simmer, covered, for 35-40 minutes until soft. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and fry the onion, garlic and peppers gently until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in the cooked lentils and the tomatoes, parsley, bay leaf and water. Season well. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 10-15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is fairly thick.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased ovenproof dish, removing the bay leaf. Make four slight hollows with the back of a spoon. Break in the eggs. Sprinkle with the sherry, cover and bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg whites are firm.
  • Serve at once, garnished with the parsley sprigs.

The lentils were a little undercooked for my liking. I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

This recipe is a little bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.
