Huevos Rotos de Yuca, Jamón ConsorcioSerrano and Chimichurri paired with D.O. Cava Guarda Superior Reserva

A beloved classic from Spanish cuisine: Huevos Rotos con JamónConsorcio Serrano. This dish, which translates to “broken eggs with Serrano ham,” is a comforting and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any time of day.  The traditional version is made with potatoes, but I love it with yuca and an authentic chimichurri.  Whether you’re serving it for brunch, lunch or a casual dinner, each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, specially if you pair this with a wonderful D.O. Cava Guarda Superior Reserva, due to its balanced acidity and flavors that helps cutting the richness and acidity of the recipe.

What do you need:
  • 10-12 pieces of frozen yuca (better if it is ready to fried)
  • 1-2 large eggs
  • 2-3 oz Jamón ConsorcioSerrano, crispy (optional)
  • Sunflower or Olive oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the chimichurri:

  • 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup salted water
  • 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 garlic head
  • 1/2 med red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp dry oregano
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • Black pepper (to taste)
What to do:

For the chimichurri: Combine all the ingredients on glass jar and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.

Prepare the yuca: You can start pealing, boiling and then frying the yuca, but you can also use the one that comes ready to fry. Heat a generous amount of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the yuca and fry for 3-5 minutes or until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Then, remove the yuca from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Cook the Eggs: On a different pan over medium heat with extra virgin olive oil, cook the eggs sunny side up, season with a little salt and pepper and set aside.

Assemble the Dish: Arrange the yuca on a plate with the fried eggs, chimichurri and the Jamón ConsorcioSerrano.

Serve: allowing guests to break the yolks and mix everything together.

Optional: sprinkle a pinch of smoked Spanish paprika over the top for extra flavor or add a piquillo sauce.

Enjoy this delicious and comforting Spanish dish with a crusty piece of bread and a glass of your favorite Cava de Guarda Superior!
