Ingredients

6 Eggs
3 Tomatoes
3/4 Cup Onions Diced
4 Tbsp Oil
2 Stalks Green Onions
1 Scotch bonnet or Habanero
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp bouillon powder

For the Potatoes

2 lb Potatoes

Black pepper to taste
2 Tbsp coconut oil Melted butter or
Enough water to boil the potatoes

Instructions

For the Egg stew

Heat up the oil in a pan (Don’t overheat the oil)
Add the thinly sliced onion and fry till it becomes limp
Add the Diced Tomatoes and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or till the tomatoes release their juice and they become soft
While the tomatoes are simmering, begin to crack the eggs in a bowl, add some salt to taste and whisk and set aside
Season the tomato sauce with salt and bouillon powder and stir in the green onions.
Pour the whisked eggs over the sauce and gently move it around to incorporate the sauce into the egg – be gentle so as not to scatter the eggs inside the sauce.
As the eggs begin to set, it begins to form large soft curds. Begin to gently flip the curds and continue cooking until the eggs become set with no more visible raw eggs.
Serve hot. Enjoy!

For the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices (about an inch thickness)
Rinse and drain and put them in the pot
season with salt and add enough water to cover the potatoes
Cover the pot with a lid and boil the potatoes on a medium to high heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or till it becomes tender until tender.
Drain the water and transfer potatoes to a medium bowl. Add 2 Tbsp of melted butter or coconut oil and black pepper and toss.

Notes

Don’t over-salt the eggs before frying it, remember the tomato sauce has already been salted.
When I’m boiling potatoes, I like to add enough water to cover it, then I drain off the excess water once the potatoes are done. If you are feeling nervous making it this way, you can simply steam the potatoes using a steamer. It works just fine.
Don’t overcook the Eggs. Take it off the heat as soon as you can’t see any more raw eggs. The eggs will still continue to cook with the retained heat in the pan even after it has been taken off the heat. If the eggs are overcooked it will turn tough and rubbery
Also, it’s very important to cook the eggs on a medium heat so that. This will also help to yield a tender and delicate delicate egg stew.
The texture of the resulting egg stew or ”fried eggs” depends on how it’s stirred during the cooking process. Frequent stirring will produce smaller curds while careful stirring will result in delicate billowy curd.
