🍳 How To Make Jamie Oliver Huevos Rancheros

Peel and finely slice the onion and garlic. Deseed and finely slice the peppers and chillies.
Get a large frying pan with a lid on high heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the onion, garlic, peppers, fresh and dried chillies, bay leaves, and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened and caramelised.
Pour in the canned tomatoes and break them up with a spoon or potato masher. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Slice the fresh tomatoes and lay them over the top of the mixture. Make small wells in the tomato stew with a spoon, then crack the eggs into the wells. Cover with the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can place them in the oven at 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for a few minutes, microwave them for a few seconds, or lay them over the lid of the pan.
When the eggs are done, remove the lid. Bring the pan to the table with the warmed tortillas, grated Cheddar cheese, and a grater. Let everyone make their own by grating cheese onto a tortilla, adding an egg and some tomato stew, wrapping it up, and enjoying.
