Instructions

  1. Blend Vegetables: Coarsely blend the tomatoes, red bell pepper, habanero pepper, and half of the onion until a chunky mixture forms.
  2. Prep Aromatics: Chop the remaining half of the onion and mince the garlic finely to prepare for sautéing.

Notes

  • You can replace olive oil with any other cooking oil if preferred.
  • Reduce or omit habanero pepper for a milder stew.

  • Use fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish to add freshness.
  • Ensure not to overcook the eggs to keep them tender and creamy within the stew.
