Paprika Chorizo Hash Recipes

SMASHED POTATO-CHORIZO HASH

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper third and middle of the oven; preheat the broiler. Whisk the vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir in the red onion and set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the shishitos and asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a big pinch each of salt and pepper on a baking sheet.
• Drain the potatoes and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the paprika; season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a second baking sheet and smash the potatoes using the bottom of a glass. Broil the potatoes on the upper oven rack and the shishitos and asparagus on the middle rack until the potatoes are browned and the shishitos and asparagus are tender, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the chorizo in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Add 4 eggs to the skillet and cook until the whites are set, 3 to 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes, shishitos and asparagus among plates. Top with the chorizo, red onion (drained) and fried eggs. Sprinkle with the parsley and paprika.

CHORIZO HASH WITH PEPPERS AND PAPRIKA

Steps:

• First the onion needs to be peeled, sliced in half and then each half sliced as thinly as possible so you end up with little half-moon shapes. Next halve and deseed the red pepper, slice it, then chop it into ½ inch (1 cm) pieces. After that, peel the skin off the chorizo sausage and cut into pieces roughly the same size as the pepper. The potatoes need to be washed and cut into ½ inch (1 cm) cubes, leaving the skin on. Then place them in a saucepan and pour enough boiling water from the kettle to almost cover them, then add salt and a lid and simmer for just 5 minutes before draining them in a colander and covering with a clean tea cloth to absorb the steam. Next heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the larger frying pan and, when it's fairly hot, add the onion, pepper and garlic and cook for about 6 minutes, until softened and tinged brown at the edges. Then push these to the side of the pan, add the chorizo and, keeping the heat fairly high, cook for about 2 minutes, again, till nicely browned at the edges. Next, add the paprika and stir everything together, then remove the whole lot to a plate. Now add another tablespoon of oil to the pan and, still keeping the heat high, add the potatoes and seasoning. Toss them around in the hot pan for about 3 minutes, keeping them moving, until they begin to crisp and brown at the edges, then return the chorizo, onion and pepper to the pan and, using a pan slice, keep turning the mixture over. Carry on cooking the whole thing for 5-6 minutes, until it's all really brown and crispy. Then turn the heat down to its lowest setting and, in the other pan, fry the eggs in the remaining oil (see recipe below). Serve the hash divided between the two warmed plates with an egg on top of each and have plenty of tomato ketchup on the table.

CHORIZO & KALE HASH WITH A FRIED EGG

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium frying pan, and add the chorizo and onion. Fry for about 8 mins, until the chorizo is golden and has released its orange oils, and the onion is soft.
• Turn up the heat, tip in the kale and stir-fry for 1 min until wilting. Stir in the potatoes, paprika and some seasoning. Fry everything together for another 5 mins or until the potatoes are hot through and the kale is tender. Scrape the bottom of the pan now and again for those all-important crispy bits.
• Meanwhile, fry or poach the eggs, then serve on top of the hash.
