Ingredients for this cook: Spinach, red pepper, tomatoes, onions, eggs, cooking chorizo and garlic.

The Cook:

Finex cast iron pan onto the grill with some rapeseed oil warmed up. Sliced onions and chopped garlic into the pan.

The Pepper and chorizo went in next.

After a few minutes the tomatoes were added. I had missed the part in the recipe that said move the pan to the indirect heat zone at this point to simmer the sauce. Bit of an issue!

I decided to power on with direct heat and keep stirring. I rushed it a bit and the sauce didn’t reduce enough by the time I added the spinach.

I created some small wells and added the eggs then popped the lid on the grill to steam them a bit.

SUMMARY:

This was such a tasty dish and a great breakfast. I made a bit of an error not having an indirect heat zone to simmer the sauce down so when I make it again I would use a bigger grill to achieve that or I would just cook it in the house. The eggs were nice, due to the amount of sauce they were like a mixed poached/fried egg! Nice runny yolk though.

Overall a cracking dish, will do it again to do it as it should be but a great breakfast and pretty simple to cook.
