A little about this dish

This is a delightful twist to traditional Spanish dishes, combining hearty Rutabaga with the warmth of Spanish spices. The star of this recipe is Rutabaga, a root vegetable that's in season this time of the year. Its natural sweetness is balanced by the addition of smoky Spanish paprika and chorizo.

Spoon the cooked rutabaga and chorizo hash into bowls. Top each serving with a sunny-side-up egg and a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley before serving.

A final fox tip

Rutabaga is often overlooked but is full of nutrients. If you're looking to add a different flavor, smoked paprika could also be used for an added depth of flavor. For vegetarians, you can substitute chorizo with smoked tofu.
