    • 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
    • 2 garlic cloves minced
    • 1 teaspoon of paprika

    Shrimp, Chorizo and Yuca HashPin

    Breakfast in Colombia is a big deal, and I mean that both figuratively and literally! Some of the most popular and traditional Colombian breakfast dishes are quite filling and extremely comforting. When I was growing up, my mom would cook a large, hot breakfast, almost every day of the week, for the entire family. The breakfast usually consisted of some combination of arepa, eggs, cheese and meat, along with hot chocolate, and some days, she would even add rice and beans to the mix! Years later it has not changed. Whenever I go to Colombia to visit my family, my mom makes a warm, filling and comforting breakfast every morning.

    I have long heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and breakfast has always been an important meal for me. I try never to skip it and even though breakfast during the week has to be simple due to my busy schedule, I make sure it is balanced and healthy for my family and I. The weekends provide for a little more time where we enjoy a larger, more comforting breakfast, as I used to have in Colombia. My breakfasts have changed through the years, as my life has changed. I live in a different country, with a different culture, have kids, a husband, and a business. But, there is one thing that I am convinced will never change...my need for a satisfying desayuno!

    Shrimp, Chorizo and Yuca HashPin

    This Shrimp, Chorizo and Yuca Hash was easily prepared and very tasty. Shrimp, chorizo, yuca and potatoes provide a fantastic mix of flavors, textures and color. I also added an avocado and herbs sauce and topped it with fried eggs to round off the dish. You can prepare your eggs over-easy, scrambled, soft-cooked, poached, or fried as I did. Just don't skip the eggs, they are the perfect partner to a good hash.

    Hash does not get better than this, and I'm not just saying that because I am partial towards Latin ingredients. I find the pairing of Colombian chorizo and shrimp, along with the yuca texture, exceptionally unique in a hash. Add to that the creamy, spicy and tangy avocado sauce and you’re getting a burst of flavors that work really well together. Enjoy!

      For personal/health reasons, I would omit the garlic and be selective about which parts I would personally eat (I avoid fats [chorizo] and foods that repeat on me [peppers, garlic - I hate to be still burping these up five or more hours after the meal]) and would pass on the avocado sauce but my better half and her mother would eat the lot, plus the bits I would filter out.

      My wife is Colombian and her mother is a Texan so while She Who Must Be Obeyed (my better half) cooks all sorts of cuisine (British, American, Colombian) I tend to cook British style. My suegra never cooks now. I did say that once we left Britain (where I did most of the cooking) for Spain that I wasn't doing the cooking, but I DO enjoy it and the others seem to like my food, so I guess I have to do some...

      I almost bought yuca the other day but the ends looked odd colored, almost moldy. Is it supposed to be dark on the ends?
