Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 slices of Christmas Ham
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes + 1/2 tin water
- pinch ground cumin
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs [dried is fine if you are camping 1/2 tsp]
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary [dried is fine if you are camping 1/2 tsp]
- 1 can cooked cannellini beans drained and refreshed
- butter
- 2-4 eggs
- To Serve:
- sourdough
- shaved parmesan
- 1/2 lemon
- freshly chopped parsley
Method
- Over an open campfire, on top of your bbq or at home on the stove place a heavy based fry-pan over medium heat. Add a little oil + butter and 1 sliced red onion, cook till tender. Add 2 squashed garlic cloves [with the back of a wooden spoon] and 2-3 large slices of leftover Hellers Christmas ham roughly chopped. Fry till it starts to caramelise then add 1 tin of chopped canned tomatoes, a pinch of ground cumin, fresh thyme sprigs and fresh rosemary
- Cook for 10 mins then add cannellini beans and a large knob of butter. Stir through gently and cook a further 5 mins. Now make a few gaps as the sauce would have reduced a little and crack in 2-4 eggs.
- If you are at home you can pop it into a moderate oven or put the cover down on your bbq till the yolks are just starting to set. If you are sitting by the campfire then simple cover in tinfoil and carefully check after 5 mins or so.
- Serve with crusty buttered chargrilled sourdough, top the dish with shaved parmesan, ½ lemon zest and freshly chopped Italian parsley – only if you have them handy in your camping chili-bin!
