My Basque Piperade at €2.06 per person.

Piperade is a typical Basque dish.

Colorful and deliciously fragrant, it offers all the aromas of Southwestern cuisine.

Simmered with Bayonne ham and local products, my piperade is a tasty Basque stroll.

For 4 People, I Need

• 8 eggs
• 4 slices of Bayonne ham
• 1 red pepper
• 1 green pepper
• 4 tomatoes
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

My Preparation:

1. I wash, seed and cut my tomatoes into quarters and my peppers into strips.
2. I peel and finely chop my onion.
3. In a hot oiled frying pan, I brown my tomatoes, my peppers and my onion.

4. I salt, pepper and simmer over medium heat for 40 min.

5. Meanwhile, I fry my Bayonne ham and put it with its cooking juices in the vegetables.

6. I break my eggs into a bowl and beat them into an omelet.

7. I add them to my piperade.

8. I cook for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.

It's ready!

My Bonus Tip!

Just as tasty, I sometimes replace my Bayonne ham with bacon or even chicken.

According to the desires and tastes of each, I arrange my eggs without beating them directly on my piperade and let them cook very slowly.
