Vegan Kale And Chorizo Hash

Notes: We both liked this. I don’t have measurements for the ingredients.

Ingredients:

Diced potatoes
Fresh kale
Vegan chorizo
ginger

Directions:

In a large skillet, over medium heat sprayed with oil. Add the chopped potatoes and stir occasionally making sure all the potatoes get cooked through. When potatoes are nearly done add the chorizo and ginger. Cook till chorizo is heated through and add kale. Cook till kale softens.

The next time I made it I removed the chorizo from its casing. It wasn’t as good as I remember it being the first time.
