Health benefits of Chorizo and Sweet Potato Hash

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

3 ounces (6 tablespoons) vegetable oil
18 ounces Homemade Chorizo, recipe follows
3 sweet potatoes, cut big and rustic, and blanched
18 medium cloves garlic, roasted
2 medium poblano chiles, charred and diced
2 medium red bell peppers, charred and diced large
2 medium shallots, chopped
3 cups spinach leaves
4 tablespoons butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups Asadero cheese
12 eggs, fried
12 tablespoons Chile Rojo, recipe follows
12 tablespoons Charred Chile Avocado Salsa, recipe follows

Instructions

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 minutes until combined. Add the spinach and cook. Finish with the butter and season with salt and pepper.
To serve, top with the cheese and place under a low-flame broiler until the cheese melts. Top with the fried eggs, Chile Rojo and Charred Chile Avocado Salsa.

Grind together the chili powder, arbol chiles, coriander, cumin, chipotle chile powder, cloves and black pepper until they are a powder. Toast the spices in a hot dry pan for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Mix the toasted spice mixture with the brown sugar, cilantro, oregano, salt, vinegar and garlic. Toss with the pork until well coated. Refrigerate for 5 hours. 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. Yield: about 2 pounds.
Place the garlic, tomatoes, chiles 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 minutes so that the flavors combine. Puree in a blender until smooth. Add the avocados, cilantro 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. Yield: about 2 cups.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toast the cumin, coriander, garlic and chiles 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, cilantro and 8 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Puree and strain through a conical strainer (chinoise). 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. Yield: about 8 cups.
