RICE WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350. Put the oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof saucepan with a lid over low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Add the coriander seeds, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, chilies, bay leaves and 1 teaspoon salt. Raise the heat to medium and continue to cook and stir for 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat in the oil. Add 3 cups water, cover the pan, transfer to the oven and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, keeping it covered, and let it rest somewhere warm.
• Fill a large, deep saucepan with enough water to come 2 inches up the sides. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to as low a simmer as possible so the water is almost completely calm and only the tiniest of bubbles float to the surface. Carefully break the eggs into the water, cook for 1 minute, and then remove the pan from the heat, leaving the eggs in the water; let rest for 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs; drain on paper towels.
• When the eggs are almost done, stir the parsley, cilantro and lemon juice into the rice and fluff it with a fork. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Put the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; when it’s hot, add the kirmizi biber and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Divide the rice among four individual serving bowls. Place two eggs on each portion, drizzle chili butter on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

MEXICAN EGGS AND RICE

Steps:

• Reheat your cooked, leftover rice.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil or bacon grease in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Grate the cheddar so it will be ready when your eggs are.
• Fry the egg to the your preferred level of doneness. I really like it with the yolk still runny, so when you cut into the egg on your plate, the yolk mixes with the rice and salsa. This takes about 2 minutes cooking on the first side, then I flip it over and cook for about 20-30 seconds on the other side.
• Spoon the rice onto a plate.
• Top with the fried eggs.
• Immediately sprinkle the grated cheddar on top, then spoon on the salsa.
• If you are making more than one serving, you won't need to add the whole amount of oil to the skillet for the next servings, as some of the oil will still be in the pan.
• This is an easy weekday breakfast. On weekends when we want a bigger breakfast, we'll also warm up some canned black beans, and tortillas to serve on the side.

MEXICAN CHICKEN HASH WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• NOTE: If you are using leftover or pre-cooked chicken I add it after sauteing the vegetables; if fresh chicken, I saute the chicken first.
• NOTE: If you are using leftover sweet potatoes, I just chop fine, if not, I grate my fresh sweet potatoes.
• Chicken and Vegetables -- In a large oven proof saute pan. I love my cast iron for this. Melt your butter over medium high heat and add the chicken (if fresh) and cook the chicken 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown, and then add the vegetables and cook another 5 minutes until soft.
• If using pre-cooked chicken or leftovers, melt the butter and add the vegetables and cook 5 minutes until soft then stir in the chicken.
• Potatoes and Seasoning -- Now add either the diced leftover sweet potatoes, or the fresh shredded sweet potatoes, garlic, chipoltes, 1/2 cup cheese, fresh herbs, salt, pepper and 1 cup of the chicken broth. Now cook 2-3 minutes if using the leftover potatoes, or it may need a bit longer (4-5 minutes) if you are using fresh grated. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Note, there should be some good moisture in the bottom of the pan from the broth, if not you can add a little bit more. Remove from the heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Again, make sure there is a little broth in the bottom, not too much.
• Eggs -- Now, I just take the bottom of a glass and make 6 indentations in the hash. One in the center and 5 around the outside of the pan. Then, crack 1 egg at a time in a small dish and put the egg into each indentation. Now sprinkle the cheese around the eggs. Salt and pepper the eggs liberally.
• Bake -- 400 degrees, middle shelf. Place in the oven and cook about 7-10 minutes until the eggs are to your liking. Depending on the size of your pan and type of your pan and the size of your eggs it may take a bit longer - ENJOY!
