Buffalo Chorizo Breakfast Hash
PIN IT!And once again, France has stolen my heart.
Not much to my avail though. Every time I visit this insanely beautiful country I fall even madder in love with it. I can see why Ernest Hemingway wrote “There are only two places in the world where we can live happy: at home and in Paris.” Granted I’m not in my beloved Parie this trip, but I can totally relate to that sentiment. When I’m here, I’m content, at ease and serene. Not to mention I’m completely amoureux with the food, the culture, the people, the wine and the sights. Oh the sights. When people tell me to close my eyes and think of something beautiful, France is always what comes first. I could lush for years, but instead I’ll share a few photos of my time here in the Bordeaux region, then we’ll move onto something far more American, buffalo chorizo breakfast hash!
After the horrible month I’ve had, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate being somewhere I feel happy. Somewhere that brings out the little girl in me, makes me laugh, smile and glow. Somewhere I can feel like my world isn’t crumbling beneath me. It’s nice. But enough about my favorite country, let’s talk about hash. No, not marijuana (although some of that might ease my troubled mind), the stuff you eat for breakfast at those amazing greasy spoons you had in college. You know when you were so…under the weather from a night of….studying that you needed something greasy.
Except this is like 5000% healthier than the stuff you ate at those diners. Instead of regular chorizo I subbed in lower fat buffalo chorizo and used only a SMIDGE of olive oil. And you know what? It still works perfectly for hangovers. Not like I would know what THAT is.
I’ve had some amazing food these past few days in France, but my mouth is still watering at the thought of this incredible hash. Slightly spicy, full of flavor, incredibly decadent without actually being decadent and perfectly zesty. It’s everything you could want or need in a breakfast. Or brunch. Could you imagine a big bowl of this with a giant mimosa? Perfection. Just perfection.
Now I’m off to eat yet more fromage et charcuterie. I know, I have such a horrid life.
