Brazilian Spiced Egg Rice

This is a cheap, tasty dish eaten in Brazil by people of African descent. Eat it with rice as a satisfying and exciting dinner.

This will serve five people

You need:

• 12 eggs
• olive oil
• 1 tomato, finely chopped
• 1 heaped tspn grated coconut
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 onions
• 1 heaped tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander
• Salt and pepper, to taste

To make it:

• Finely slice the onion, mince the garlic.
• Break the eggs into the bowl (a great opportunity to use up leftover yolks or whites). Gently beat the egg.
• Put a generous splash of olive oil into a frying pan. Heat it on medium and throw in the garlic, onion, tomato, coconut and coriander, stirring constantly.
• When they are a little browned (but just a little) add the eggs.
• Keep stirring, and after 10 seconds reduce the heat as low as it will go.
• Stir now and then for the next five minutes, when they eggs should be done.
• Season with salt and pepper.
