Eggs in Hell
I found a recipe years ago called "Eggs in Purgatory". With the addition of some delicious heat, I've called it eggs in hell.

You will need:

1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 onion (or bunch of spring onion* if you prefer)
1 pepper (whatever colour you like)
sliced chorizo sausage
a few cloves of garlic (1 or 2 will probably be enough, add more to taste if you like that sort of thing though)
Squeeze of tomato puree or ketchup
1 dried naga chilli
2 eggs

Chop and fry the onion and chorizo until the onion is starting to go transparent.
Chop and add the pepper to the pan for a couple of minutes.
Chop the garlic and add to the pan for about 2 minutes, until it's starting to go brown.
Add the tomatoes, puree (or ketchup) and the whole chilli, fineyl chopped.

Simmer for a few minutes, then break the eggs onto the top of the mixture.

Cover and simmer until the eggs are cooked - alternatively, if you can't cover the pan, either spoon hot tomato juice over the eggs until they're cooked or put the whole thing under a hot grill for a few seconds - be careful not to burn the eggs if you do this though.

Serve with rice or couscous and some sour cream. The recipe above is enough for two people; add more eggs if you're hungry.

I use naga chillis because I have a big bag of dried ones and I really love the flavour. They're fucking fucking FUCKING hot though; if you want a little less heat (last time I made this it made my eyes go blurry for a few minutes) use different chillies or remove the seeds.

As you can probably tell it's not the most precise of recipes; you can mix it around pretty much however you like. No pepper/more pepper/bacon instead of chorizo/no meat/serve with grilled chicken instead/whatever, it's all good.


*Bonus points for referring to spring onions as "sprungions", like I always do

Black pudding and bacon would be immense.

Not just me and Mrs 5 that say sprungions then?
Yay.

... for sprungions! Also, broles (bread roles) spomlette (spanish omlette) and fregg (fried egg, essential in a freggwich)

Most species of egg can be referred to as "degg"...
Pickle degg
Fry degg
Scramble degg
Poach degg
Devil degg

Also pickled onions are "dunions"

I really need to get out more :)

Surely you mean 'neggs' or 'neggins' (for the kids of course!)
See also:
'tost' - toast
'normality' - builder's tea
'gaiety' - any fruit or herbal tea (Mrs 5 has a penchant for mint or ginger and lemon

So on some mornings she will request a cup of gaiety and tost.
