Sweet Potato Sprout Hash With Poached Eggs Recipes

SWEET POTATO & SPROUT HASH WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the sweet potatoes in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave on high for 5 mins until tender but still holding their shape. Uncover the bowl and leave to cool a little.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide non-stick frying pan and add the onions. Cook for 5-8 mins until starting to caramelise. Add the sprouts and stir-fry over a high heat until softened. Push the sprouts and onions to one side of the pan and add the sweet potatoes, squashing them down in the pan with the back of a spatula. Leave undisturbed for 5 mins until starting to crisp on the underside. Season, add the nutmeg, mix in the sprouts and onions, and flip the potato over, trying not to break it up too much. Cook for a further 5 mins until really crispy.
• Meanwhile, poach 3 eggs in a pan of barely simmering water. Serve the hash topped with poached eggs.

VEGETABLE HASH WITH POACHED EGG

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, about five minutes.
• Stir in the ground cumin seeds and the paprika, and combine well with the vegetables. Continue to cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the ketchup, and continue to cook, stirring, for another five minutes.
• Press the vegetable mixture down into a flat layer in the pan. Continue to cook on one side for five minutes. A crust should form on the bottom. Stir, then press down again and cook for another five minutes, until a crust forms again. Stir, taste and adjust salt, and add pepper. The vegetables should be thoroughly tender and the mixture nicely browned with a sweet edge. Remove from the heat.
• Spoon the hash onto plates, press down in the center, lay a poached egg on top and serve.

SOUTHWESTERN SWEET POTATO HASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Put the bacon on a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or baking dish and bake until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings on the baking sheet. Add the sweet potato, red onion and bell pepper to the baking sheet and season with the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss well to coat. Bake until the vegetables are tender and browned, about 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the vegetables from the salad kit and transfer to a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the dressing from the salad kit with the sour cream and lime juice; set aside.
• Stir the lime zest into the vegetables on the baking sheet and make 4 wells in the mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Bake until the egg whites are almost set, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the eggs with the Mexican cheese blend and the shredded cheese from the salad kit. Continue to bake until the cheese melts, 2 more minutes.
• Sprinkle the salad over the hash and drizzle with the dressing mixture. Top with the tortilla strips from the salad kit and the bacon and cilantro. Serve with hot sauce.

DECONSTRUCTED SWEET POTATO HASH WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 sage leaves and fry quickly until crisp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve.
• Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet, toss until coated in the butter, then add the water and the remaining 8 sage leaves. Bring the water to a simmer and cook the potatoes, uncovered, until the water has evaporated and the potatoes are just fork tender, about 10 minutes. If there is any excess water in the pan, remove it with a large spoon and reserve. Continue cooking the potatoes, scraping the pan frequently with a spoon, until crusty brown, about 10 more minutes. Add a tablespoon of the leftover cooking liquid or fresh water if the potatoes stick or begin to scorch.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, adding water as necessary when the pan gets dry, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a serving bowl. Wipe out the pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and fry the eggs, 2 at a time, to your preference. Cook's Note: I like mine over easy.
• Plate the potatoes in the center of 4 plates with the caramelized onions alongside. Top each plate with 2 fried eggs, garnish with a fried sage leaf and enjoy!
• Cook's Note: Serve with your favorite breakfast meat.
