Huevos Rancheros and Vegetarian Nacho Sauce with Kidney Beans

Okay, lots of people are asking for this recipe, so here it is. This is actually two recipes in one, as I use the same sauce for both recipes. Huevos Rancheros (or ‘Ranch Style Eggs’), and Vegetarian Nachos.
 
Huevos Rancheros are great for a hearty, protein-rich breakfast, or for a quick dinner when you really don’t feel like cooking. Or pretty much any time in between. 🙂 Basically, for those of you who are wondering, they are eggs poached in a spicy, Mexican style tomato sauce. Kind of like a salsa, but a little more soupy. I add kidney beans to mine, but you can leave them out if you like. As the eggs poach in the simmering sauce, it will thicken up, so the end result is more like a cooked salsa with poached eggs.
 
You can use the same sauce for nachos, just don’t add water. I make the sauce in my Thermomix, and it’s so easy and quick, but you can make it on the stovetop too, if you don’t have a Thermomix. If you keep a couple of tins of kidney beans in the cupboard, and always have tomatoes and eggs on hand, you’ll never be stuck for a quick meal or two.
 
Here’s both recipes, starting with the nacho topping:
 
Note: You can find Fine sea salt, Aussie Kibble Pepper and Organic Garlic for this recipe in my online store here!

Ingredients
  1. Nacho Topping with Kidney Beans Sauce
  2. 2 eggs
  3. Grated cheese (opt)
Instructions
  1. Pour sauce into a heavy based frying pan.
  2. Add a little water, so the sauce is a bit soupy and will be able to simmer, and won't just bubble and spit and stick to the bottom of the pan.
  3. Turn stove on to medium heat and warm sauce until it's bubbling. Turn heat down and let it simmer for a minute or two. Make indents in the sauce with a large spoon, and crack eggs into the sauce.
  4. Place a lid on the pan and allow the eggs to poach in the sauce for a minute or so, depending on how firm you like your eggs.
  5. Huevos Rancheros are traditionally served on a fried corn tortilla but you can serve them over some plain corn chips, with a green salad on the side, or just on their own.

    Can you add minced meat to this recipe? Say 400-500g?
    If so at what point would you add it? I would assume that you would add it to the simmer basket…
