Eggs With Chorizo And Spinach: Recipes At My Table

Eggs With Chorizo And Spinach

Chorizo is more commonly used in Spanish cooking.  Johnny Prosciutto makes a lovely lean, ready to eat Salumi Toscano Chorizo.  Today my Eggs With Chorizo And Spinach are a replica of something I ate in Spain.  I tried the recipe a few times and it is best when all the ingredients cook separately and then come together like in Chinese cooking.  I hope you like this and shop @johnnyprosciutto for this quality sausage. 

Chorizo VS Itaian Sausage

Italian sausage usually consists of pork and seasoned with fennel.  Chorizo includes some type of chilli peppers and is normally fermented, cured and smoked.  Found largely in Spanish cooking and famous for its spicy flavour, Chorizo is a breakfast food in Spain.
