    How to make one-pan peas and eggs

    Saute:

    Heat a large pan over medium heat and drizzle the olive oil.

    When hot, add the garlic, onion, and bay leaf, and saute for 2 minutes or until soft.

    Add the sliced chorizo and saute for 3 minutes.

    Add tomato puree, peas, and season:

    Then, add the tomato puree and stir to combine.

    Add the peas, water, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

    Add the eggs:

    Make wells and crack the eggs into each well.

    Tips for making perfect peas and eggs

    Use a large pan: Use a large pan to ensure you have room to poach all the eggs.

    Don't wait too long: This dish is best when served warm! Ensure you have everything ready to eat right after you remove it from the stove.

    Peas' cooking time: Peas cooking time depends on the brand/type you're using. Check the package instructions for a more accurate cooking time.

    Keep an eye on the eggs: Don't let the eggs cook for too long. Otherwise, they will overcook. The yolks can be runnier or mostly cooked through, you decide! Ensure you keep an eye on them and cook to your liking.
