Tochitura with polenta and eggs is prepared from pork meat, rustic sausage, and kaizer, all cooked together with green onions and tomato paste. The sauce is formed with a little water, and at the end, the tochitura is served with polenta, fried eggs, and grated cow cheese on top. It is a simple, hearty recipe suitable for a substantial lunch. Quick Info Total time: not specified in the original recipe Preparation time: not specified Cooking time: not specified; the meat and smoked sausage are cooked until done, then the tochitura simmers with the sauce Servings: not specified; the final quantity depends on the size of the piece of meat, the sausage, and the number of eggs used Difficulty: easy Recipe type: pork tochitura with polenta, eggs, and cheese Ingredients A piece of pork meat A piece of rustic sausage 100 g kaizer Green onions A tablespoon of tomato paste Salt Pepper Eggs Cow cheese Polenta, prepared separately The recipe does not specify the quantities for pork, sausage, green onion, eggs, cheese, or polenta. These can be adjusted based on how many servings you are preparing. For cheese, a sufficient amount should be grated over the tochitura at serving. Preparation method 1. Cut the pork into cubes. The pieces should not be too large, so they cook evenly. 2. Place the meat in a pan and sauté until it starts to cook and get a little color. 3. Cut the rustic sausage and kaizer into slices. Add them to the pork and continue sautéing together. Stir occasionally so that the ingredients cook on all sides. 4. Cut the green onions into thin strips and add them to the pan over the meat and smoked sausage. Let them soften a bit without cooking them separately. 5. Add a tablespoon of tomato paste, then season with salt and pepper. 6. Pour in a cup of water and let the tochitura simmer. During this time, the ingredients combine with the tomato paste, and a sauce forms in the pan. A complicated sauce is not needed; the recipe relies on the flavor of the meat, sausage, and kaizer. 7. Prepare the polenta separately, using your usual method. 8. Fry the eggs separately. 9. Place the polenta on plates, add the tochitura, and top with the fried eggs. Finally, grate cow cheese over the dish. Tochitura is served while warm, so the cheese sits well over the meat and polenta. If the sauce seems too thick, it can be left a little more fluid when removing the pan from the heat. The original recipe mentions only a cup of water and a single simmer after adding it, so a long boiling time is not necessary. Why I make the recipe often It is a practical dish when I want something hearty without preparing multiple separate dishes. The meat, sausage, and kaizer are cooked in the same pan, while the polenta and eggs complete the plate. Additionally, it can be easily adapted for more people, depending on the amount of meat and the number of eggs used. I also like that the final taste does not depend on many spices. The tomato paste, green onions, pepper, and smoked sausage are enough for a simple sauce that pairs well with polenta. Tips Cut the meat, sausage, and kaizer into pieces or slices of similar size, so the ingredients cook evenly. Be careful with salt. The kaizer and sausage may already be salty, so it's better to season gradually and taste the sauce before serving. The green onions should be cut into thin strips and added after the meat and smoked sausage have started to cook. This way, they retain their flavor better and do not get completely lost in the sauce. Let the tochitura simmer after adding water and tomato paste. This is the step where the ingredients bind into a common sauce. The eggs are fried separately and placed on the plate at the end. This way, they remain distinct and do not mix into the tochitura. Substitutions If you do not have green onions, the original recipe does not indicate an alternative. You can omit the onions only if necessary, but the taste will be slightly different. Cow cheese is used grated at serving. If it is softer and does not grate easily, it can be crumbled over the polenta and tochitura. For meat, the recipe clearly specifies pork. It is not recommended to change the type of meat without considering the different cooking times. Variations The amount of meat, sausage, eggs, and polenta can be increased or decreased depending on the number of people. The important thing is to keep the same sequence: the pork is cooked first, followed by the sausage and kaizer, then the onion, tomato paste, and water. You can make the tochitura drier or with more sauce, depending on how long you let it simmer after adding the water. For the basic recipe, it should just simmer. The eggs can be placed one in each plate or prepared according to the number of servings. The cheese is added at the end, directly over the assembled dish. Serving ideas Place the polenta on the plate, then the tochitura, the fried egg, and the grated cow cheese. This order keeps the sauce next to the polenta, and the egg remains visible on top. The dish is served hot, immediately after the polenta and eggs have been prepared. The polenta can be simply placed on the plate without further preparation. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use any piece of pork? The recipe indicates a piece of pork without specifying a certain cut. Cut the meat into cubes and cook it before adding the sausage and kaizer. 2. How much green onion should I use? The amount is not specified in the original recipe. Use as much as you think is appropriate for the amount of meat prepared, cutting the onion into thin strips. 3. When do I add the water and tomato paste? After the meat, sausage, kaizer, and onion have been sautéed, add the tomato paste, salt, pepper, and a cup of water. The tochitura is then left to simmer. 4. Can I put the eggs directly into the tochitura? In this recipe, the eggs are fried separately and added to the plate assembly. They are not cooked in the sauce. 5. When do I add the cheese? The cow cheese is grated on top after you have placed the polenta, tochitura, and fried eggs on the plate. Nutritional values These values are approximate, as the recipe does not specify the amount of meat, sausage, polenta, cheese, or the number of eggs. A typical serving may have approximately: Calories: 700-1,100 kcal Protein: 35-55 g Fat: 45-75 g Carbohydrates: 45-80 g Most of the fat comes from the pork, sausage, kaizer, eggs, and cheese. Carbohydrates are mainly provided by polenta, and their value varies significantly depending on how much polenta is placed on the plate. For an accurate calculation, the weights of all ingredients and the exact number of servings would be necessary. Storage and reheating Leftover tochitura can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container and consumed as soon as possible. Polenta and eggs store better separately from the meat and sauce if you know you will not serve everything immediately. When reheating, heat the tochitura until it is well warm. The polenta may harden after cooling, and the fried eggs may change texture, which is why the dish is best fresh. The cheese is added at the end, after reheating and assembling the plate.
