After the Feast

Written Monday, December 14th, 2009 by Anne Coleman

While right at the moment we're all gearing up for, or already in the throes of, preparing for the holidays and our individual holiday feasts, there will come a time, very shortly, when we'll be too full to think of food at all. Here's a good in-between-holidays dish. It's not very heavy, uses few ingredients and doesn't contain turkey OR ham. Really, some of us just can't take any more leftover recipes.

Chorizo is a spicy sausage typically found in Hispanic cuisine and can be purchased either cooked - where the consistency is close to pepperoni - or uncooked, like any other sausage. I used uncooked for this one, but I really prefer the cooked sticks of chorizo. Go with what you like. There really is no need for extra spices or herbs, but again, you can season this to your liking.

Chorizo Eggs
Serves 3-4

8 eggs - beaten
1/2 pound ground chorizo
1/4 cup sliced green onion (aka scallions or spring onions)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and brown chorizo. Drain if needed and add eggs, cheese and onion. Stir until eggs are cooked but not dry. Serve with warmed flour tortillas, sour cream and salsa.
