Chorizo Hash
When I worked as a chef at Google in Mountain View, one of the things that I liked was the varieties of breakfast that we made daily. Of course we always had the staples such as oatmeal, bacon, eggs and the like but we always had something good waiting on deck. Breakfast is routine and that's fine but by no means does it have to be boring.

On the Menu Today: Mexican Breakfast: Chorizo Hash, Cheese Grits & Soft Boiled Eggs.
 |
| Potato Ingredients: 5 Sprigs of Thyme, 2 Potatoes, 1/2 Red Onion, 2 Cloves of Garlic, 1 Bay Leaf, 2 Stalks Of Green Onion |
 |
| Potatoes/Chorizo Ingredients: 10 Oz Chorizo, 1 Tbs Season Salt, 1/2 Tbs Paprika, 1-2 Pinches of Black Pepper, 3 Tbs Canola Oil |
 |
| Potato Process: Dice the potatoes, onions and garlic then slice the green onions. In a skillet or saute pan add the oil to the hot pan. Add the onions & cook until slightly browned then remove. Add the potatoes, seasonings and herbs then cook until crispy. Remove from heat, fold in the cooked onions and place into an oven preheated to 350 and cook until done. 20 more minutes or until done. Cook the chorizo in a separate pan until done and then fold into the cooked potatoes. |
 |
| Mascarpone Grits : 4 Oz Mascarpone Cheese, 1 Cup Grits, 2 Cups Chicken Stock, 2 Cups Water, 1 Tbs Butter, Salt & Pepper to taste. |
 |
| Process: Cook Grits according to box, subbing chicken stock for half of the water. Once done fold the cheese into the grits, then taste it and add salt to enhance. |
 |
| Soft Boiled Egg : 2-3 Eggs, Boiling Water, 2 Tbs Baking Soda 1 Tbs Salt |
 |
| Process: Bring water to a boil with the baking soda and salt. Place the eggs in with a spoon, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for EXACTLY 6 minutes. Take out and place under cold running water. The Baking soda makes the eggs easier to peel. |
 |
| Plating: Start by placing the grits in the center of the plate, add the potatoes around the grits and the egg on top of the grits. Garnish with the chopped green onions and add toast. |
* This is a dish that cures all ills, especially hangovers. Wash it down with a cold beer or a Blood Mary topped with a lager or pilsner.
