Traditional La Piperade
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ cup 4ozdiced bacon
- 4 green peppers seeded and cut into small pieces
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 4 tomatoes peeled, seeded
- 4 free-range eggs well beaten
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the butter and the oil in a frying pan.
- Cook the bacon, green peppers, and onion over medium heat until soft.
- Add the garlic and tomatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Raise the heat and with a fork, crush the tomatoes and this will evaporate the juices.
- When the vegetables are cooked, add the four well-beaten eggs to the pan.
- Immediately mix a fork until the eggs are sufficiently scrambled.
- Serve your La Piperade immediately.
- You can omit the bacon if you prefer but it does give a wonderful flavor.
- Red peppers may be used but I think the green ones look beautiful with the red of the tomatoes.
