Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced 
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into small cubes (about 4 c)
• 4-5 thyme sprigs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
• 1 package Upton’s Seitan Chorizo
• Optional: a shake of Imperfect’s Seasoning for all of the Things

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and saute the onion until soft and just starting to wilt, about 3 minutes, stirring often.
2. Add the sweet potato cubes, thyme, salt, and pepper to the onions and stir well to coat, then cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 4-5 minutes. 
3. Remove the lid and cook sweet potatoes, uncovered for another 3-4 minutes stirring often. 
4. Break up the chorizo into the pan, add the kale leaves, and stir everything together.
5. Cook another 2-3 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and starting to brown, kale cooked, and chorizo hot!
6. Top off your breakfast hash some hot sauce, red chili pepper flakes, avocado, or a dollop of crema. 

Breakfast Hash Notes and Variations

Kale stems are edible! And just as tasty as the leaves. To use the stems in this recipe, par-cook them beforehand by blanching, steaming, or sautéing with oil over a medium flame. Then add them in when a recipe calls for the kale leaves.
