One of those recipes which you can throw together without really thinking, which is always a plus in these workaday world. We have worked out the calories via Nutracheck and of course, they are a rough estimate: it all depends on what sausages you use, as some are more calorific than others. We've used Tesco reduced fat sausages for this but feel free to swap it out. This recipe is based on a Gousto recipe that we tried during the Christmas holiday and we've gussied it up a smidge to make it a bit more slimming. As is our way!
Ingredients
- two medium leeks
- four large eggs
- 800g of potatoes - we use Vivaldi potatoes from Sainsbury's because we think we're better than you
- 8 reduced fat sausages
- 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- a bunch of chives, finely sliced
Instructions
- slice the leeks in half lengthways, then slice horizontally into little half-moons
- dice the potatoes (skin on) into small cubes
- place the diced potatoes into a large pan and cover with boiling water, sprinkle in a little salt and bring back to the boil over a high heat
- cook for 10-15 minutes until tender, then drain
- return the pan to the hob over a medium-high heat and spray with a little oil
- add the leeks to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, until softened
- meanwhile, score each of the sausages with a sharp knife and remove the skins (chuck the skins in the bin, or give to a hungry dog)
- add the sausage meat to the pan and stir regularly for 5-6 minutes, breaking them up with the spoon as you go
- once the sausages are cooked, add the potatoes back to the pan and cook for another 6-8 minutes
- stir through the mustard and then add half of the chives to the pan, stir again, and serve onto plates
- put the pan back over a medium heat and add a little more oil
- crack the eggs into the pan and cook or 2-3 minutes
- serve the eggs over the hash and sprinkle over the remaining chives
Notes
Recipe
- if you're buying fresh chives, make sure you stick the rest of the plant in a wee pot on the windowsill and water it from the bottom - don't let those bastards at Big Chive get you down
- they really know their onions, after all
- oh do one
- they really know their onions, after all
- if you're not arsed about the calories, swap the sausages for higher fat beasties and you'll be living the dream
- doubly so if you add chopped chorizo in with the sausage meat, just saying
