  • Add the tomatoes, water, ancho, chipotle, pasilla, honey and cook over medium-high heat until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally, about 20 to 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the lime juice just before removing from the heat.

Spanish-Style Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo and Manchego Fricos image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 oz. manchego cheese, shredded
3 oz. Spanish-style chorizo
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
6 large eggs
1/4-cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
freshly ground black pepper and sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, shaking pan occasionally to assure an even distribution of cheese over the pan bottom, until the edges are lacy and toasted, about four minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and allow cheese to set for about 30 seconds. Use a large heatproof spatula and tongs to carefully flip frico over and cook until the other side is golden, another two minutes. Slide frico out of the pan and onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining cheese and let stand while you prepare the eggs.
  • Cut chorizo into half-inch dice. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat and add chorizo. Once the fat from the chorizo has started to render, after about a minute, add onion and stir. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and onion and chorizo have browned slightly. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
  • Whisk eggs to break up yolks and add to skillet. Add parsley to taste. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom often (this yields a soft, fluffy texture). Spoon scrambled onto plates and season to taste with pepper and salt (keep in mind that fricos are salty and chorizo is peppery). Break fricos into approximately 3-inch pieces and serve with eggs.

PORTUGUESE BAKED EGGS WITH CHORIZO AND RICOTTA



Portuguese Baked Eggs With Chorizo and Ricotta image

Entered for safe-keeping, from Jennifer Olvera for Serious Eats blog. More at http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/02/portuguese-baked-eggs-with-chorizo-and-ricotta-recipe.html. Buy your ricotta at an Italian deli if you can. The sauce is very spicy; if you want to tone it down, remove the seeds and white membrane from the serranos or use a single jalapeno (also with seeds removed). The sauce may be made up to 1 day in advance; store it in the refrigerator, but be sure to warm it before proceeding with the recipe. These are perfect for brunch or for a dinner with crusty bread and a crisp green salad in a acidic vinaigrette.

Yet another way to spice up your breakfast eggs, or serve this tasty dish for dinner. Recipe and photo by: http://www.simplyrecipes.com

Provided by Ellen Bales

Categories     Meat Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Tbsp olive oil or bacon fat
1/3 c chopped onions
1/4 lb mexican chorizo sausage, removed from casing
5 to 6 large eggs
salt to taste
tortillas, optional
cilantro, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil or bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Move to side of pan and add broken-up bits of chorizo into the pan. Stir until sausage is cooked through but not necessarily browned. If not using LEAN choriza, drain the excess fat from the pan before proceeding.
  • 2. Crack the eggs one at a time into the pan. Break the yolks and stir the eggs into the sausage. Add a light sprinkling of salt. Stir constantly until the eggs begin to set, but are still moist. Remove from heat.
  • 3. Serve immediately with a side of warmed corn tortillas and cilantro as a garnish, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chorizo: Spanish chorizo is the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use Mexican chorizo or another type of spicy sausage. If you're using a spicy chorizo, you may want to reduce the amount of chili powder in the recipe.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chorizo and eggs, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the eggs will steam instead of fry.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chorizo and eggs before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder, depending on your preference.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Chorizo and eggs is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include hash browns, roasted potatoes, fruit salad, or toast.

Conclusion:

It's a great way to use up leftover chorizo, and it's also a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables.
