This month, instead of sharinga new dish to make forNoche Buena, I thought ofsharing something creative:a simple recipe to breathenew life into your holidayleftovers. Huevos rotos (broken eggs inSpanish) is one of my favorites. Simpleand comforting, it’s the perfect base forleftover holiday ham. The saltiness ofpork goes really well with the starchycreaminess of eggs and potatoes.The amount of ham you can add toWKLVGLVKLVYHU\ÀH[LEOH²\RXFDQXVHwhatever you have in the fridge. As forthe potatoes, you can chop them upto your preferred size; just rememberthat the bigger the chunk, the longerit will take to cook. You can add moreherbs and spices, too. I suggest a littlepimenton de la Vera (Spanish smokedpaprika) sprinkled on the ham.The best thing about this dish is thatit’s just the thing to eat on ChristmasPRUQLQJ²ZKLOH\RX¶UHVWLOOLQ\RXUpajamas, snuggled on your sofa, andcounting the blessings you receivedthis year.
