I mentioned in my post about Kopapa that I wanted to try and recreate the dish I chose - the chorizo hash. Well, often these intentions get put on the back-burner, but I actually managed to make this happen in a timely manner!
This is honestly one of the simplest, yet nutritious (2 superfoods!) & delicious meals that I've made, and it takes about 20 minutes in total. It would make a great packed lunch, an easy yet filling brunch, or even a quick weekday dinner. Am I selling it to you yet?
I'm not a huge fan of potatoes (except when they're in the form of fries, because of course.), so I always dismissed sweet potatoes as something I wouldn't be keen on - but being bombarded constantly with information about all the health benefits of these things, I finally got round to including them in my shopping from time to time. And now I'm a convert! Using them in savoury dishes means I enjoy that sweet/salty combination that I love, and they are very versatile and extremely filling. Plus, I think the colour is beautiful, which is always a bonus.
Are there any sweet potato recipes you can share with me to expand my repertoire?
Sweet Potato, Chorizo & Kale Hash
Ingredients: {for 2-3 servings}
1 large sweet potato, cubed
70g chorizo, sliced
half a bag of kale (about 100g)
half a red onion, sliced
2-3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 eggs (optional)
smoked paprika
olive oil
salt & pepper
To make:
1) Boil the cubed sweet potato for about 5-7 minutes, until tender.
2) Steam the kale in the microwave for 1 minute.
3) Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan, cook the red onion, garlic & chorizo until a little browned.
4) Add the sweet potato, and a generous sprinkle of smoked paprika. Shake it around and let the flavours mix together.
5) Add the kale and shake around some more. Season to taste.
6) Remove from heat, and quickly fry a couple of eggs to your liking.
7) Bon apetit!
