3. Add some chopped asparagus, leaving 4 longer pieces for later use, add the peas, green beans, tomatoes and tomato paste.
4. Season with salt and pepper, add a little water and throw the potatoes back into the skillet.
5. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Grease a pirex dish with butter and transfer all the vegetables with the broth to it.
7. Crack the eggs over the vegetables, place the 4 pieces of asparagus over them, the rest of the ham cut in pieces and the rest of the chouriço.
8. Sprinkle with chopped parsley (fresh or dried) and bake for about 20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked.
