Method

  • step 1

    Put the pancetta and onion in a large, deep frying pan. Cook for 7 mins until the onion is beginning to soften.

  • step 2

    Add the peppers, tomatoes and tomato purée to the pan and mix well. Season, cover and cook for 10-15 mins.

  • step 3

    Make 4 small wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each well and cook for a further 5-6 mins or until the eggs have set. Scatter with basil and serve straight away, with crusty bread, if you like.

question

Could the pepper, tomato, pancetta mixture be frozen? Then eggs added when reheated?

Hi, Yes it could, you might get some liquid separation as you defrost but this will disappear as soon as you reheat the mixture. Lulu

For a true piperade the eggs should be scrambled into the sauce - it gives it a totally (and much better) different texture and flavour if you do.

Not bad. I added 350g of chicken thighs browned with paprika, which I removed from the pan while I softened the onions & pancetta, then returned to the mix with the peppers/tomatoes/etc. It's a good dish but I did feel it could do with something else - perhaps as simple as garlic - to bring out…

Utterly yummy. Just make it! I also used some special smoked bacon from our butchers.
