I saw a version of this in a Rick Stein<\/a> book, my take is to make it a bit more protein based so I’ve made a chorizo, poached egg and sweet potato breakfast rather than something you have with tortillas.

Serves
<\/strong>2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking time
<\/strong>20 mins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients
<\/strong>2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 sweet potato peeled and diced into 1 cm cubes (about 150g)
Chorizo sausage, 50g
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red chilli chopped
Handful of chopped baby spinach
1\/2 tsp smoked or sweet paprika
Optional – chipolte chilli flakes
1 tsp olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong>
Prepare the food as per the list of ingredients, this won’t take long and being prepared will save a lot of hassle.
Put a non stick pan on a low heat and add the chorizo. There is plenty oil in the sausage so a low heat will allow it to come out without burning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After roughly a minute add the olive oil, sweet potato and a pinch of salt, turn up to a medium heat. Give this a good mix to coat the potato with the oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mix should begin to brown a little, keep an eye on it and after 2-3 mins add the garlic and fry for another minute. Add the tomoato’s chilli and paprika, turn to a low heat and cover for a further 10-15 mins until the sweet potato is soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boil a small pan of water and add 2 tsp salt and a tbls of vinegar (any will do) this helps the poached egg form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When there is a rolling boil turn down to a good simmer and swirl the water round a little. Carefully crack and lower the eggs into the water and leave alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how you like them they will take 4-5 mins, i think for me 4 is fine, takes a bit of playing around with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now add the chopped spinach to the chorizo mix for a min and plate into bowls. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon and pat dry them on kitchen paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your chorizo poached egg, and sweet potato breakfast bowl is ready to kick start the day Mexico <\/a>style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
