Ingredients

  • 350g sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 350g carrots, diced
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 200g chorizo, roughly cut into chunks
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 4 large free-range eggs
  • 4 spring onions, sliced
  • Salt and Pepper

Method

Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the sweet potato and carrots and cook for 6-7 minutes until just tender. Drain and leave for a few minutes to steam dry. 

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan with a splash of oil and gently fry the onions for 8 minutes to soften. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes to brown. Add the cumin and lemon zest and stir for a minute or so more. 

Add the carrots and sweet potato to the frying pan with salt and black pepper, then fry on a medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, pressing the mixture down gently with the back of a spoon to let it brown. 

Either poach, boil or fry your eggs.

Top the hash with the eggs and scatter with the spring onions, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
