Half-buried eggs

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great week, I've been really busy this week, that's why I didn't upload anything yesterday (I'm sorry), better late than never, right? Today I'll show you a vegetarian dish that has a lot of things that I like a lot, veggies, mashed potatoes and eggs hehehe, lets see how to make these half-buried eggs.

Ingredients (for two)

Mashed Potato

400 Potatoes
Butter
Milk
Salt to taste

For the veggies

1 Cup cubed zucchini
1/2 Cup diced carrot
1 Small diced onion
1/2 Cup of green pepper
1/2 Cup of green peas
1/2 Cup of corn
1 big or two small minced garlic clove
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tsp Italian seasoning
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

1 Egg!

Process

• First we are going to peel the potatoes and then cut them into chunks. In a pot at high heat cook the potatoes with enough water to cover them and a little salt.
• Now let’s prepare all the veggies, since the carrots need to be peeled lets do that first. Then cut the carrots, the zucchini and the green pepper into sticks and then dice them. Also chop an onion in small pieces.
• By this time the potatoes should be soft, remove the excess water and then mash the potatoes, then add some milk, butter and salt to taste. I know that in America you make your mashed potatoes with a light consistency, but try to make it denser.
• In a skillet, add some olive oil. Once it’s hot add the onion, and stir fry it a little bit and then add the minced garlic. Stir fry until it is translucent and then it’s to add the carrots. Stir fry for about 1 minute, and then add the pepper, stir fry a little bit and then add the zucchini, once it is soft, add the corn and the green peas. Stir fry until everything is soft and now we are finally going to add the some extra flavours. I used some tomato puree, Italian seasoning and black pepper and salt, but you can use whatever you want of course. Mix everything together and then add half a cup of water.
• In an oven safe dish add the veggie mixture and spread it evenly. On top of that add the mashed potatoes, and spread it along the dish, in the centre of the dish make a hole and this is why I told you to make it denser, because if it’s too light you will not be able to make a hole. Once your hole is done, put and egg inside it. And now to the oven it goes at 180 ºC until the eggs are done. Let it cool for about 5 minutes and its ready to be served.
