Recipe is AMAZING!
This looks tasty and simple!) Am just exploring paleo recipes in general.As a beginner sometimes..uh…I feel like there is too much bacon and sausage in these recipes! I feel like I would be engaging in an artery clogging marathon named ‘heartattack at 40!’ Hehheh…seriously, cavemen did not live past 30 usually. If I had so little to live I would want to eat only animal protein foods fried in fat with bananas on top Elvisstyle!!;p That said, I love love your recipes!xxxxxx
Just made this morning for breakfast – OMG SO dee-lish! I had never made a poached egg and it took me 3 times to perfect it (in the microwave no doubt) but once it was done it mixed well. I didn’t have the meat this calls for on hand so I used Turkey Sausages and it turned out wonderfully. Looking forward to trying more recipes from your site! Paleo eating day 3 in the books. 🙂
Hmm it won’t let me rate this so “Ah” to the “M” to the “A” to the “Zing”! Yes, this gets it’s own cheer b/c it’s so good! I cut the spices by half b/c I’m a
Holy cow. I love all your recipes but this one takes the cake. Love love love.
I’m sure this recipe is good when done right, but I had a lot of trouble with the instructions! Very vague and not so accommodating to those of us who don’t already know how to poach an egg. 🙂
I gave up after three wasted eggs… Also, it left out where to add the bacon. I kinda just guessed it was supposed to go in there.
I made this recipe the other day, and it was DELICIOUS! TThis is an addictive dish, and I make it minimum once a weak now! Thank for this recipe!
Can this be made in a crock pot?
i’m sure it could be
This was AMAZING. I couldnt really grasp the how to on the egg and had a slight fail, so i ended up just doing them over-easy. I made a double batch and we had spicy warm goodness every morning this week!
This was super yummy! I’m vegetarian so I replaced the chicken stock with veggie broth and the chorizo with vegan sausage. I obviously left out the bacon. I added extra spinach. It is a delicious, hearty breakfast. I love doing stews for breakfast. I poached an egg for the very first time and didn’t mess it up, woohoo! It’s easy on the stomach and keeps you full until lunch! I used a “wok” instead of a pot and worked just fine. Next time I will garnish with avocado and use red pepper flakes for more of a kick!
