Cowboy Hash
Some mornings you need a substantial breakfast to set you right for the day – and all the better if it includes a little spice to wake up the tastebuds.
Prep time : 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Serves : 4-6
Ingredients
- 800g potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2cm chunks
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large red onion, halved and cut into 1cm wedges
- 200g chorizo sausage, peeled, halved and cut into chunks
- 2 tsp thyme leaves
- salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley or coriander leaves
- 1 tsp finely chopped red chilli (optional)
Method
- Bring potatoes to a boil in a pot of salted water, boil 5 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
- While they cook, heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frypan and cook onion over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes). Add chorizo and cook a further 5 minutes, stirring now and then to prevent sticking. Lift out of pan and put to one side.
- Add remaining 2 tbsp oil, thyme and well-drained potatoes and cook over a medium-high heat, turning now and then, until slightly crispy (about another 10 minutes). Add the onion and chorizo mixture back to the pan and cook another minute or two.
- Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper and sprinkle with parsley or coriander leaves and chilli, if using.
