Yucca Hash Browns With Chorizo Recipes

YUCCA HASH BROWNS WITH BACON, ONION AND LIME-CILANTRO MOJO

Steps:

• For the mojo: Stir together the lime juice, cilantro, vinegar, honey, garlic, chiles and some salt and black pepper in a small bowl and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the hash, to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the yucca hash: Put the yucca, bay leaf and garlic in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Sprinkle the water with salt and black pepper. Bring the water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the yucca until just tender, but not falling apart. Drain well in a colander, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain again. Discard the garlic and bay leaf.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the oil and bacon and cook until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the cumin and onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the yucca and cooked bacon and season with salt and pepper. Cook the hash, pressing with a spatula, until the bottom is crisp and dark brown. Turn the yucca pieces using a spatula and repeat pressing and browning until brown and crisp on all sides. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with the lime-cilantro mojo.

YUCCA HASH BROWNS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Peel the yucca, cut it into 3- to 4-inch sections and quarter it lengthwise. Lay the quarters with a cut side down and slice off the core; discard. Cut cored quarters into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Put the yucca in a medium saucepan with salted cold water to cover by a few inches. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until translucent and just tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes. Strain, return the yucca to the pot, set over low heat and toss once or twice to dry it out.
• While the yucca boils, put 2 tablespoons of the oil and the chorizo in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate, using a slotted spoon. Add the onions to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the chorizo.
• Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Add the yucca and sprinkle with salt; using a metal spatula, chop and press the yucca into the hot oil. When it is a little crusty on the bottom, after 1 or 2 minutes, turn the yucca over and keep pressing and turning until you have lots of crispy yucca, about 4 minutes more. Stir in the chorizo-vegetable mixture and heat through.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Swirl in the butter. Crack the eggs into individual bowls. Add the eggs side by side in the pan. Cook until the outer edges turn opaque, about 1 minute, then cover, lower the heat and cook for 4 minutes. If you want a medium yolk, cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the hash browns hot and topped with the fried eggs.
