  • 1 small onion or large shallot – peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic – peeled and chopped
  • 1 orange pepper – deseeded and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried chillis

  • 4 eggs – free range
  • 60 g grated cheese – I use cheddar
  • Fresh coriander

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the olive oil into a large frying pan, add the onion and garlic and fry for a few minutes until starting to turn golden. Add the peppers, season with pepper and salt and fry until soft. Add the tinned tomatoes, the chilli and cook for about 5 minutes.

    Once the sauce has thickened add in the Princes Corned Beef, stir and cook for another few minutes until you have a rich thick corned beef ragu.

  3. 3

    Divide the mixture between 4 mini casseroles, or pour into one large gratin dish.
