CHORIZO HASH

CHORIZO HASH

My friend came over early one weekday morning and I made this. I didn’t end up having lunch that day because I was so full. This is definitely a brunch dish and something I will make again on a weekend.

Course Breakfast
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small red onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 chorizo sausage link sliced into rounds
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1 red chili sliced
  • 2 Yukon gold potatoes peeled & cubed
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and chop them into cubes.
  • Place them into a large pot of cold water, add a tablespoon of salt. Once the water starts boiling, parboil the potatoes for 7 minutes, then drain in a colander and leave to steam dry.
  • In a frying pan on medium heat add the chorizo and fry. Once some fat from the chorizo had rendered, add the onion and garlic. Fry until the onions have softened.
  • Add the red peppers. Fry until softened. Remove vegetables and chorizo from pan. 
  • Add the olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes until potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the chorizo and vegetables back into the pan and mix with the potatoes. Remove from pan and put on two plates.
  • Fry eggs in the same pan. Add a little more oil if needed. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place an egg on top of the chorizo hash.
  • Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.

Notes

I love cilantro and used it as an ingredient rather than a garnish. It gives this dish a brightness and freshness which is nice with the warm vegetables and spicy sausage. But if you’re not a fan of cilantro, you can use a little like a garnish or use parsley.
