Ingredients
- 4 huevos (eggs)
- 1 remolacha (beetroot), roasted and diced
- 1 cup avena (oats), cooked
- 100g tuétano de res (beef marrow)
- 1 ahuyama (pumpkin), peeled and cubed
- 1 cup yuca (cassava), peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp tamarindo (tamarind) paste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Yuca and Ahuyama: Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the yuca and ahuyama cubes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Beef Marrow: In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef marrow and sauté it until it’s golden and delicious. Once done, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
- Make the Beetroot and Tamarind Sauce: In the same pan, add the diced remolacha. Sauté for a few minutes, then stir in the tamarind paste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes until it’s all combined beautifully.
- Cook the Eggs: In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them sunny-side up or however you like them.
- Prepare the Oats: In a small pot, cook the avena according to package instructions. Once cooked, season with a pinch of salt.
- Assemble the Dish: On a plate, layer the cooked yuca and ahuyama, spoon the beetroot-tamarind sauce over it, then place the sunny-side-up eggs on top. Drizzle the beef marrow over the eggs and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
