Healthier Chorizo and Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

“Healthier?” I hear you ask.

“But it has Chorizo in it?” I hear you say.

Well, a new healthier deli meats range called Oliving by Hans is about to hit supermarket shelves (Coles, Woolworths and IGA) across Australia at the end of this month and it is definitely healthier and seriously worth trying.

Last week I joined a few of my favourite recipe bloggers at Shirt Bar in Sydney to try this great new range all while downing a few too many gin cocktails (they must have known my drink of choice was gin).  We left with a full belly and a bag full of new healthier deli meat products to try out at home. To watch the video of our night out trying the products you can view it here.

For those of you wondering how the Oliving by Hans products – consisting of chorizo, bacon, salami, twiggy sticks, ham and more – are healthier, they have been made using the highest quality meat and have lowered the saturated animal fats in the products and replaced it with olive oil. Using the Mediterranean diet as inspiration, it has long been recognised that the inclusion of olive oil to food in ones diet on a daily basis contributes to prolonged life, better health and well-being.

The products definitely taste better in my opinion, but that is one of the great characteristics of Olive Oil, it is proven to enhance taste and flavour.

After arriving home with the products, I was immediately drawn to the Chorizo. Usually a very fatty product I couldn’t resist the temptation to really put it to the test. So I decided I would use it as the hero in a healthier breakfast hash with sweet potato, capsicum, onion and eggs (I also got to use my new spiralizer so it was win-win!).

Now, on to the recipe. Using a healthier product means I couldn’t help but create a healthier dish all round. Upon first bite of this bright orange beauty with oozy eggs it’s hard to believe this dish is healthy but with a little coconut oil, vegetables, herbs and the Oliving by Hans chorizo, I promise it is!

And the verdict on the chorizo? Well it is great. Definitely less fatty but with no compromise on taste.

Healthier Chorizo and Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 2 small onions, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 125g chorizo, finely diced
  • 500g sweet potatoes, grated or spiralized
  • 150g capsicum, sliced in batons
  • A few continental parsley sprigs, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4-5 eggs

Directions

Melt the coconut oil in a large oven proof skillet until melted. Add onion and garlic and saute till translucent, then add the chorizo and fry until the chorizo pieces are starting to brown.

Add the sweet potato and saute stirring frequently for 4 minutes. Then add the capsicum, parsley, paprika and salt and pepper to taste, then cook for another 4 minutes.

Preheat your oven grill to high, then spread the chorizo and sweet potato mixture out evenly make 4-5 small wells (depending on the size of your pan) in the mixture to hold your eggs and crack 4-5 eggs into each well gently. Place under the grill until the eggs are cooking to your taste - be sure to keep an eye on the grill at all times as the eggs cook very quickly.

Serve immediately in the pan, or gently slide the hash out of the pan with the help of a large egg flip and onto a place to serve.

    What a great breakfast idea with a healthy touch! This looks delicious! Sweet potatoes are so good! I just discovered your blog and I like it a lot. Pictures are beautiful!

    Chorizo is a staple in my kitchen. Very versatile. We eat it on its own as an antipasto, as a sandwich with spanish sauce, quick pasta, mixed with prawns, paella, mixed with beans, etc. It adds that extra oomph to any dish!

    Favourite deli product? It would have to be bacon – the kids love it, I love it. I like mine pan-fried crispy, with a poached egg, a good tomato chutney on a big pile of fresh rocket. I can argue it’s healthy because of the greens!

    I do like to eat bacon in moderation, as it gives any dish texture, crunch with and a lovely saltiness to enhance the dishes flavour. I personally enjoy it crispy with oysters – Oysters kilpatrick style!

    I absolutely love Prosciutto parma laid fresh on thin crust wood oven pizza with mozzarella, rocket and fresh chillies. I’m hungry now…..

    With smallgoods products, I like to create
    A spin on a dish to get cleaned off the plate
    A cauliflower soup with bacon bits that are fried
    And some Chorizo & cheese rolls served on the side!
    A lovely, hearty dish that my whole family adore
    And so tasty that they keep coming back for more!

    You just can’t beat the best pizza in the world served with the most incredible view in Venice…..smoked chorizo and gorgonzola on a home made baked base looking down the Grand Canal, washed down with a Sprtiz or tow (three, etc). I have tried to replicate this masterpiece in the kitchen but it just doesn’t cut it without the view! Still, it will not stop me working my way through the list of cured meats available in Aus on a quest for matching those Italians and their expert ways!

    I still can’t go past salami with cubed cheese on a Jatz biscuit, heaven. Washed down with a good glass of plonk!
