What is a Mexican breakfast? Thinking spicy cornflakes?You'd be wrong.
Mexican breakfast food really isn't that different from Mexican dinner food... They still eat tacos, burritos and churros. This particular Mexican breakfast originates (once again!) from 'Jamie's America', and is absolutely great if you've got a long, energetic day ahead of you. Mine actually defeated me... which is uncommon. It's also pretty cheap as a large and delicious meal goes, and not unhealthy in the slightest. This recipe has tomatoes galore, and as tomatoes are believed to have anti-carcinogenic properties... you should eat as many as you like! It is a combination of onions, tinned tomatoes, garlic, chillies and fresh tomatoes for the sauce which you simmer down until it is lovely and thick - adding the fresh tomatoes once the sauce has thickened by layering them on top. You then make a well in the centre of the sauce and crack an egg into it, which poaches in the sauce. Served in a lovely toasty tortilla where you can wrap the mixture up or eat like a tostada.
Yesterday I was transported to, LITERALLY, my own personal heaven. You know... if I constantly had money and didn't mind being a heffer. We spent our afternoon in Borough Market, on the South Bank, looking at the most amazing produce and drinking hot mulled cider - from the New Forest - My home :)
So here is a selection of the goods we arrived home with...

Rosemary Foccacia, Chorizo Piccante, Chipotle Chilli Ketchup, Olives, Avocados....
