Poached Eggs - Huevos Ahogados a la Mexicana

August 18, 2023|Breakfast

Mexican Style Poached Eggs
Mexican Style Poached Eggs


Huevos ahogados, meaning drowned eggs in English, is a classic Mexican egg breakfast poached in green or red salsa.


This recipe is prepared with simple ingredients you most likely already have on hand and requires no blending. 


Learn how to make this authentic recipe and enjoy it any day of the week.




INGREDIENTS: 

 For Huevos Ahogados, all you really need is a few simple ingredients: fresh eggs, ripe tomatoes, onions, and mild or hot peppers, depending on your level of spice.


  • Four Roma Tomatoes 
  • One Jalapeño, 1/2 Bell Pepper, or Serrano Peppers for extra heat
  • 1/2 Medium White Onion 
  • 2 Garlic Cloves 
  • Salt & Black Pepper
  • 1/4 Tsp Cumin 
  • 1/2 Tsp Mexican Oregano 
  • 1 Tsp NM Chili Powder 
  • 2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil or Cooking Oil
  • 4-5 Large Eggs 

You can add 1/2 cup or more of vegetable broth, depending on your preference, or if you want a more liquid sauce. Adjust the recipe to your preference, and don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and ingredients to find your personal taste.


INSTRUCTIONS


One reason I love this recipe is that it doesn't require blending, which means fewer dishes to wash when cleaning up!


  1. Wash the tomatoes and jalapeños with warm water and a splash of vinegar or salt.
  2. Chop the tomato, onion, and jalapeño(s) into small pieces. Then, finely mince the garlic. 
  3. In a medium/large pan, heat the oil. Saute onion and garlic for a minute until translucent and fragrant. Add tomatoes, jalapeño, seasoning, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until paste-like consistency. Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding vegetable broth to your preference. I did not add broth for a thick consistency. 
  4. Crack the eggs into the sauce one at a time. Season with freshly cracked black pepper. Immediately turn off the burner after adding the eggs and seasoning with the pepper and cover for 45 seconds to a minute, making sure not to overcook them. 
  5. Serve immediately with a side of beans. Garnish with fresh cilantro, queso fresco, and avocado.


Growing up in Mexico, eggs were a staple ingredient in our household. We consumed them not only for breakfast but also for lunch and dinner.



ESPAÑOL


Huevos ahogados, es un desayuno mexicano de huevo escalfado en salsa verde o roja.

Esta receta se prepara con ingredientes simples que probablemente ya tenga a mano y no requiere licuar.

Aprende a hacer esta auténtica receta y disfrútala cualquier día de la semana.


INGREDIENTES:

Para Huevos Ahogados, todo lo que realmente necesita son algunos ingredientes simples que probablemente estén en su refrigerador y despensa. Huevos frescos, tomates maduros, cebollas y jalapeños o serranos según que tan picoso los quieras.

Cuatro tomates Roma
Un jalapeño, 1/2 pimiento morrón o pimientos serranos para calor extra
1/2 Cebolla Blanca Mediana
2 dientes de ajo
sal y pimienta negra
1/4 cucharadita de comino
1/2 cucharadita de orégano mexicano
1 cucharadita de chile en polvo
2-3 cucharadas de aceite de oliva o aceite de cocina
4-5 huevos grandes


Puedes agregar 1/2 taza o más de caldo de verduras, según tu preferencia, o si deseas una salsa más líquida.

Cuando cocine, no tenga miedo de experimentar con diferentes condimentos e ingredientes para encontrar su gusto personal en la cocina.



INSTRUCCIONES


Una de las razones por las que me encanta esta receta es que no requiere licuarse, ¡lo que significa menos platos para lavar al limpiar!

1. Lava los tomates y los jalapeños con agua tibia y un chorrito de vinagre o sal.


2. Pica el tomate, la cebolla y los jalapeños en trozos pequeños. Luego, picar finamente el ajo.


3. En una sartén mediano/grande, caliente el aceite. Saltee la cebolla y el ajo durante un minuto hasta que estén translúcidos y fragantes. Agregue los tomates, jalapeño, y los condimento y cocine a fuego lento durante 10 a 12 minutos hasta obtener una consistencia similar a una pasta. Si no te gusta muy espeso, ajusta el grosor de la salsa agregando caldo de verduras a tu preferencia. 


4. Cascar los huevos en la salsa uno a la vez. Sazone con pimienta negra recién molida. Inmediatamente apague el quemador después de agregar los huevos y pimienta y cubra durante 45 segundos a un minuto, asegurándose de no cocinarlos demasiado.


5. Sirva inmediatamente con una guarnición de frijoles. Adorne con cilantro fresco, queso fresco y aguacate.


En México, los huevos eran un ingrediente básico en nuestro hogar. Los consumíamos no solo para el desayuno sino también para el almuerzo y la cena.

    Tacos Envenenados - Poisoned Tacos

    Yes, you read the title correctly! These simple but tasty tacos originated back in the early 1950s. Don Lauro from Zacatecas, Mexico (where I was born), first began selling his tacos in the streets of Zacatecas. Each time he was asked what was in the tacos, he would simply reply, Veneno, which translates to poison. My mom made these for us, but her recipe was a little different. Let me know what you think if you decide to make them.

    Discada for Tacos

    Discada is a plate typically made on a large, concave metal disc called a disco. It's a very versatile dish prepared with different cuts of meat which usually consists of chicken, beef, pork, chorizo, ham, hot dogs, and veggies. The perfect dish to prepare for tailgating, birthdays, or any other occasion when you have a large crowd to feed. I especially enjoy this dish because the ingredients are never the same, and it can be prepared with ingredients you already have on hand. Add or take away ingredients to make it as unique to your taste and needs.
