How to make tomahuevo
If you buy a homemade fried tomato in the supermarket, the recipe will be very tasty, but if you make the recipe with homemade fried tomato made by you, you will like it much more. To make homemade tomato, we peel the tomatoes, chop them and fry them in a high saucepan to avoid splashing, with a little salt and sugar.
We do it to simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally and observing how at first they release the water and then reduce until they form a thick cream. Then we crush everything with a pasapurés and get the richest fried tomato you can imagine, ideal for many recipes of pasta, rice etc.
To make the tomato, we put the homemade tomato in a pan and put it over high heat until it begins to bubble. Then we beat an egg and still stirring the tomato, we are throwing it little by little. The egg will curdle with the heat of the tomato so it must be removed with force and speed.
The funny thing is that while we are adding egg, This is setting, thickening the tomato and changing its texture. In less than five minutes since we added the egg the dish is ready. You just need to put it in a bowl and bring it to the table and give some spoons to the diners to put it on slices of bread.

The best way to take the tomato, is with slices of bread. As the tomato thickens a lot with the egg, you can put it with a spoon on the bread and take it to mouthfuls.

If you have ever eaten it, you know what I am talking about, and if you have never tried it ... listen to me and try it. You will not forget.
