I had assumed that Chistorra would be just like all the different shapes of Chorizo in our Despana basket. It looked similar except longer and narrower in shape, and I didn’t pay attention to the name on the package till writing this post. It’s funny because I was thinking how it was very much a chorizo but just a bit spicier and a bit smokier. I loved it and it seemed to go perfectly in our brunch. I just looked it up and it turns out Chistorra is a Chorizo breakfast sausage. Hooray!
We grilled them and plated them with a salad and my Mexican Inspired Benedict as the main attraction. From the bottom up, it was my go-to Mexican Cornbread (grilled), then my Roasted Poblano Black Beans (made with bacon), sliced avocado, an over-easy egg, tomato concasse on top.
I dreamed up the combination yesterday and hoped it would work. It couldn’t have been better. Lon and our brunch guests raved! I’m definitely serving this exact brunch again!
I’m drooling! Dreamt up recipes really are the best.
kainaz “dreamt up’ something the other day which was quite yummy too. She took chicken franks, made ribs in them, marinated them in ketchup pepper and oregano and grilled them in the micro. Tasted awesome!
i would love this brunch. your benedict sounds amazing–it has everything i need to be fully satisfied: spiciness, beans, avocado, and tomato. and pig on the side–awesome.
Dr. Food, it’s hilarious how it just came to me in a full visual in my head and I immediately grabbed a pen and paper to draw it for Lon.
Knife, I still can’t get over how you guys can grill in your microwave…
Thanks Grace! This is one of my proudest creations.
