Serves 2

Ingredients

300g medium boiling potatoes, diced
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 yellow, green or red capsicum, diced
1 onion, chopped
½ x 30g pack fajita seasoning mix
4 Tbsp water
3 eggs
Spring onions to serve

Instructions

  • Boil potatoes for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender.
  • Drain potatoes.
  • Heat oil in a heavy-based frying pan and stir fry capsicum and onion for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the fajita seasoning with water.
  • Stir in the potatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to a heatproof serving dish. Make 3 hollows in the mixture and add the eggs.
  • Place under a preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle spring onions and serve immediately.

Variation: Replace fajita mix and water with 4 Tbsp of a Mexican flavour sauce.

To boil potatoes:

  • Place prepared potatoes in a heavy-based saucepan and add sufficient cold water to just cover.
  • Place a lid on the saucepan and bring to the boil as quickly as possible, reduce heat and simmer gently.
  • Cook until tender when tested with a skewer or tip of a knife. Time will depend on size of pieces.
  • Add extra boiling water if necessary. Drain and serve.

Note: Always simmer vegetables as vigorous boiling will cause some vegetables to break up.
