Chorizo and sweet potato hash

Chorizo and sweet potato hash 1) Heat the vegetable oil in a saute pan and cook the chorizo and blanched sweet potatoes until browned. Add the roasted garlic, poblanos, bell peppers and shallots and cook for 3 mins until combined. Add the spinach and cook. Finish with the butter and season with salt and pepper. To serve:

1) Top with the cheese and place under a low-flame broiler until the cheese melts. Top with the fried eggs, chilli rojo and charred chilli avocado salsa. For the homemade chorizo:

1) Grind together the chilli powder, arbol chillies, coriander, cumin, chipotle chilli powder, cloves and black pepper until they are a powder. Toast the spices in a hot dry pan for 30 secs, stirring constantly. Mix the toasted spice mixture with the brown sugar, coriander, oregano, salt, vinegar and garlic. Toss with the pork until well coated. Refrigerate for 5 hrs. Using a food processor grinder, grind the pork mixture. Take one-third of the ground meat and re-grind it to emulsify the fat. Mix with the remaining ground meat. This will keep for about 4 days in the refrigerator and freezes very well. It makes a great breakfast with eggs and hash browns. For the chilli rojo:

1) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Toast the cumin, coriander, garlic and chillies in the oven until just browned. Place in a large pot. Char the plum tomatoes, onions, oregano and thyme under the broiler until burned on the outside. Add to the pot along with the honey, vinegar, diced tomatoes, coriander and 1 3/4 L water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 45 mins. Puree and strain through a conical strainer (chinois). This will keep in the refrigerator for about a week and freezes very well. It also makes a great enchilada sauce or chicken taco sauce. For the charred chilli avocado salsa:

1) Place the garlic, tomatoes, chillies and onion on a baking sheet and char under a low-flame broiler. Be sure to rotate all the ingredients so they are evenly charred. Once each is blackened all over and fragrant, remove it from oven, transfer to a shallow baking pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam together for 20 mins so that the flavours combine. Puree in a blender until smooth. Add the avocados, coriander and lime juice to the blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt. This keeps for about 4 days in the refrigerator, and it also freezes very well.
