Preparation

1
Finely chop the ripe tomatoes and slice the spring onions thinly.
2
Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt, black pepper, and cumin, then beat lightly with a fork.
3
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4
Add the spring onions and tomatoes to the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
5
Pour the beaten eggs into the vegetable sofrito and reduce the heat to medium-low.
6
Cook gently, folding continuously with a spatula for 2 to 3 minutes until soft curds form, then serve immediately.

Pre-cooked leftover rice speeds this up to minutes.
