directions

  • Pour and heat the oil in a frying pan. Add and saute the onion, pepper, and the garlic and heat. When these are just about to soften, add the cilantro, the tomato and finally, the beaten eggs.
  • These are stirred so as to mix with all the rest of the ingredientes until they are done to your taste (soft or stiff). You will observe that they remain a bit loose and with some liquid---this is normal, and is due to the liquid retained in the tomato.
  • Once cooked to your taste, add the salt and pepper and serve hot.
  • NOTE: The tomato may be squeezed before cutting in order to seed it and to remove excess liquid.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a bit rusty with my English, but I'll try to do my best. <br> I retired from active duty from the Ven. Navy in '89. Graduated from Annapolis, class of '59. My favorite hobby was cooking, and now I've become a strong fan. <br> I don?t like recipes that call for starting or adding canned products. I try to keep these to a minimum. I call these recipes chemistry. When you call for 1/2 can baked beans, I remember my chemistry classes in high school. The only cans I use are stewed tomatoes.
