Andalusian baked eggs

Huevos a la flamenca

Eggs are baked with fresh vegetables and cured meats in this spring dish which is referred as Flamenco, song and dance from Andalusia. The Spanish word Flamenco literally means flamingo. The dance does resemble the form of the elegant bird which is not only native to Southern Spain but can be found all along the migratory routes of the Romani people across moorish North Africa even to their origin in India. Other hypotheses suggest the word may derive from Andalusian Arabic fellah mengu, "Escapee Peasant", referring to the Muslim Andalusians (Moriscos) who stayed in Spain and mixed with the Romani newcomers.
