Greens with Chorizo & Potatoes

This was my breakfast treat after making a 5:30am airport run this morning.

Safeway had tubes of fresh chorizo on sale for $1 last time I was there, so I decided to pick one up. Have never used it before, but thought it would go well with greens. Here's a tip - don't read the ingredients label. While I guess I'm all for truth in nutritional labeling, let's just say "pork" and be done with it. It's sausage, we really don't need to get that specific. Anyway -

First I sauteed a large diced potato until somewhat browned & crispy. While that was cooking, I washed & chopped our bunches of kale and swiss chard. Then I put the potatoes aside and in the same pan, browned half of the tube of chorizo. I was thinking it would cook into separate chunks like fresh Italian sausage does, but it became very "loose." Next I added half a green pepper (chopped) that I had hanging around.

Then I added the chopped greens, and cooked for just a few minutes until they wilted down. Added the browned potatoes, and then fried two eggs over easy to top it with.

The verdict? Yummy. But the chorizo was kind of an odd texture and turned a bit pinkish after adding the greens. I was expecting a nice deep red. Perhaps next time I want to use chorizo I'll look for a more "gourmet" iteration of it. Still, it imparted a nice spicy flavor to the whole dish.

I'm making good progress through our onslaught of greens! Have a fair amount of the greens-potato mixture left, but maybe it'll be good for breakfast tomorrow.
