Spanish Baked Beans


I took this recipes from a tin of tomatoes so I cannot take credit for the original concept. This is my new FAVOURITE meal to make! So simple & wholesome. Would be a nice breakfast for a non-surgically modified individual...but for me this would be too difficult to get down in the morning - but perfect for dinner!

Ingredients:
Makes 4 small 1 cup serves (suitable for a lapbander)

* 1 Chorizo sausage
* 1/2 an onion - diced
* Garlic - Finely diced or minced
* Oregano or mixed italian herbs
* 1 bay leaf
* Splash of red wine vinegar
* 2-4 tbsp tomato paste (depending on personal taste)
* 1x 400g/14-ish oz can Cannellini beans - drained
* 1x tin of tomatoes (or fresh tomato puree)
* 2 eggs
* Low fat fetta to top 4x small ramikens

Method:
Pre-heat oven @ 180 degrees celcius (moderate)
Slice chorizo length ways in half & then diagonally into small half moons
Fry in small amount of olive oil until crisp
Add onion, garlic, oregano & bayleaf - fry til onions brown
Add splash of red wine vinegar, tinned tomatoes, tomato paste & beans
Simmer to thicken (6 minutes)
Spoon mixture into small single serve oven dishes (ramikens) NB*: Do not over-fill or it will bubble over!
Make well in mixture for each ramiken & crack an egg into each (2 will have whites only)
Top with fetta - bake until egg is cooked through and fetta is golden
