I often made this for dinner when I lived in Mexico, using food that was available in the refrigerator. Chorizo is a spicy sausage that originated in Spain. I used pork chorizo for this recipe but you can also use soy or chicken chorizo.
Chorizo Hash is one of those “more or less” recipes. Feel free to add more or less of the ingredients you have on hand and to substitute as you see fit.
This recipe makes two generous servings. It can be dressed up by adding two fried eggs or topped with sour cream. Or make a fancy dinner board for your family and friends, with your choice of toppings. Serve with fresh fruit.
Crumble 1/4 pound chorizo into medium sized frying pan and cook for 5-10 minutes. Drain if needed and add:
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced small
- 1/2 large carrot, peeled and diced small
- 1/2 cup diced onion. Optional: Soak diced onion in ice water for 10 minutes.
Cook 20-30 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
Season with: salt and a little pepper
Top with: two fried eggs or sour cream (optional)
That sounds good! I’ll have to try it!
