Chorizo – What It Is And Where To Find It
Chorizo is a Spanish pork sausage, and it gets its flavor from dried smoked red peppers. My step-dad loves it, and I can remember him making it when I was younger. It is a little fattier than regular pork sausage, and given its smoky flavor it is often used to add flavor to dishes. We’ve found clean, sugar-free pork chorizo in a couple of places:
Pederson’s Natural FarmsMulay’s (sold at Natural Grocers)
If you can’t find a chorizo you like, you can make your own at home (this is a fairly easy recipe). Or, you can substitute regular breakfast sausage or even an Italian sausage. We highly recommend chorizo though and if you haven’t tried it, it’s worth the extra effort to make it or find it!
Why a Chorizo hash For Breakfast?
This easy chorizo hash makes for a tasty combo of protein, fat, carbs and greens. The chorizo adds some smokiness to the hash and you’ll leave breakfast feeling satisfied and ready to take on your day! One item of note is that you can substitute the yukon potatoes for red, regular white, or sweet potatoes or even plantains. You know we love pork and plantains!
