Chorizo Sausage & Egg Frittata


Ready to devour !!


This is a hearty breakfast that you can make all your own by adding whatever veggie or spice you want. I'm sharing how I make this to suit my taste. I love hot,  spicy food so I make mine with a little heat. Alternatively you could use regular breakfast sausage if you aren't a spice/heat lover. This should feed 6 to 8.

Ingredients:

4 Chorizo sausages, casings removed
1 small sweet potato or yam, shredded
1/2 cup small broccoli florets 
Half package sliced mushrooms 
10 eggs, well whisked
Splash coconut milk
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ancho chili  pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees 

  • Cook sausage meat in skillet. While its cooking get your veggies ready. To shred the sweet potato I used the World Cuisine Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Veggie Cutter which is a must have in a Paleo or grain and gluten free kitchen.
  • When the sausage is almost cooked, add the veggies and the spices to the skillet and cook for approximately 3 - 5 minutes. Stir frequently. 
  • Remove the pan from the heat
  • Whisk the eggs with a splash of whatever milk you choose. I only use coconut. And then pour the eggs over the sausage mixture
  • Place your cast iron skillet into the oven and bake for 30 minutes
Now, if you don't have an oven proof pan, then use a baking dish that will accommodate the mixture. First, grease the dish, then add the meat mixture and then, pour the eggs over and pop it in the oven.

Maple Blueberry Pork Breakfast Sausage

These are a delicious alternative to the usual breakfast of eggs & bacon.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork
1 large egg
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cayenne or crushed chilli pepper (or less, or more )
1/4 tsp of savoury or sage
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1/2 cup frozen blueberries 

Method:
Put all ingredients in a bowl (except blueberries) and get messy. Mix thoroughly. Then add the frozen blueberries. Form into small patties. I usually get 9 to 10. Heat up that cast iron pan, add fat of choice for frying. I use duck fat. Cook through ( approx 4-6 minutes each side). Eat. Enjoy!
