It’s a flexible, affordable recipe that doesn’t use any complicated ingredients. While it’s usually served for breakfast or brunch, this chorizo and eggs dish can be enjoyed any time of day. Either way, you’ll want to grab a loaf of your favorite crusty bread to soak up every last drop of the rich tomato sauce. It’s a warming one-pan skillet meal that’s easy to make for yourself or double for company. Here’s what you’ll need to make this chorizo and eggs version of shakshuka:
Olive oil – for the pan. It’s what we usually have on hand but you can use butter, too. Onions + garlic – for seasoning, they add a rich umami flavor and subtle sweetness. Chorizo – for its spicy bold taste and texture. Tomatoes – fresh roma tomatoes or any type of fresh chopped tomato will work well. Red wine – or a splash of red wine vinegar, or broth. Sea salt + pepper – to add depth of flavor and enhance the other flavors of the dish. Eggs – the fresher, the better, of course. Kalamata olives, parsley, and feta – optional, for topping
Add vegetables: use up the veggies you’ve got in your fridge like zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or greens like spinach, kale, or arugula. Try ground turkey, beef, or lamb: makes a delicious heartier version. Add beans: fava beans, chickpeas, or lima beans add texture and nutrition. Flavor it with herbs: fresh cilantro, thyme, rosemary, and tarragon would add a different but delicious flavor. Mix up the spices: layer in some additional spices like smoked paprika and onion powder, or change the flavor profile completely with cumin, coriander, caraway, chili powder, or cayenne. Add cheese: add crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese at the end.
Serving a larger group? Double the batch using a larger skillet and serve it family-style with all the fixings! Enjoy it as a complete evening meal by serving it with smoky roast potatoes or roasted mini potatoes with a simple lightly-dressed green salad.
