Day 5 - Spicy Chorizo Scrambled Eggs

Brekkie joy! Chorizo scrambled eggs ... big flavour twist on a traditional breakfast.  I know chroizo isn't the leanest meat but I don't add any oil to this everything cooks in the oil from the chorizo.  Really there is no substitute for the flavour you get from chorizo, it's like bacon fat, garlic, chilli, paprika and salt all in one handy little ingredient.






INGREDIENTS:

6 eggs
3tbsp milk
1/2 pack thin sliced chorizo
2 spring onions (chopped)
1/2 red pepper (chopped)
8-10 drops tabasco sauce

METHOD:
1) Don't add any oil to the pan as enough will come out of the chorizo as it cooks
2) In a bowl whisk together the eggs, milk and tabasco
3) Heat a large frying pan on medium
4) Add the chorizo and allow to fry and render out the oils
5) Once the chorizo is crispy on the ended and the fat has rendered out, add the spring onions and red pepper and cook them for 2-3 minutes.  The juices that come out of the veg will help deglaze the pan of the chorizo juices.
6)  Add the eggs and stir frequently until the eggs are cooked.
7) Serve with a slice of wholemeal toast and top with a drizzle of natural yoghurt and a sprinkle of chopped mint.
