Step-by-step
- Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a small, heavy saucepan. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, chillies, and paprika, and fry gently for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, and parsley, and bring to the boil. Season, reduce the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- When the salsa has reduced to a thick, dark sauce, remove from the heat and mash it with a potato masher. Set aside.
- In a large, heavy frying pan, heat the remaining oil. Fry the potatoes for 5 minutes over a medium heat. Add the chorizo and fry for 5 minutes more, until everything is well browned.
- Take the pan from the heat and stir in the tomato salsa. Make 4 large holes in the mixture and crack the eggs into the holes.
- Return the pan to the heat and fry the eggs for 5 minutes, or until cooked as you prefer. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve from the pan, with tortillas or crusty bread on the side.
