Ingredients
- 1 medium, diced Sweet Potato
- 4 oz, diced Whole30 Compliant Chorizo
- 1/2 medium, diced Red Onion
- 1/2 medium, diced Bell Pepper (any color)
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
- for garnish Optional: Fresh Parsley
Preparation
First, dice the sweet potato, red onion, and bell pepper into small, even pieces. Mince the garlic. If your chorizo is in links, remove the casings and crumble the meat. Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking.
Cooking the Hash
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potato, red onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender-crisp.
Adding Chorizo and Garlic
Add the diced chorizo and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chorizo is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Frying the Eggs
While the hash is cooking, fry the eggs. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (about 3-5 minutes for over-easy or over-medium).
Serving
Divide the sweet potato and chorizo hash between two plates. Top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
