What's revoltillo de huevo?
Revoltillo is a Spanish word meaning a scramble or disorganized mixture. In the Dominican Republic a revoltillo de huevo - or revoltillo for short - is a dish with scrambled eggs, vegetables, and sometimes meat products, like ham or salami.
Each family has their own preferred mixture of ingredients in these huevos revueltos.

Serving suggestions
You can pair this dish with boiled "víveres" (yuca, batata, yautía, or auyama), or Pan de agua, Pan de agua, orn Mangú. It also goes great with Casabe.
Some of our breakfast hot drinks are highly recommended: Chocolate de maíz (cornmeal cocoa) and Chocolate de maní (peanut cocoa) were always served with revoltillo in my paternal home.
Top tips
- Change ingredients: You can get creative and add or substitute vegetables you like. Though not a traditional ingredient, I sometimes like to add minced mushrooms to mine.
- Meat products: You can add diced ham or salami by browning them in the hot oil before cooking the vegetables in step 1.
