Asparagus with Chorizo and poached eggs

Serves 2

Asparagus with Chorizo and poached eggs

Ingredients

  • 1 bundle asparagus
  • ½tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 120g cooking chorizo
  • 2 eggs
  • White-wine vinegar

Method

  1. Steam the asparagus until just cooked - it should retain some bite.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the chorizo and eggs. Warm a quarter-tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Break the chorizo into small chunks and sauté until they release their red, juicy fat and begin to take on some colour.
  4. Crack the eggs into a saucer. Get a pan of water boiling, add the vinegar and stir the water to create a whirlpool.. lower the heat and poach for three minutes, until the whites are set.
  5. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  6. Arrange the asparagus on warmed plates, sprinkle on the chorizo and top with an egg. Trickle the fat from the pan and a few drips of oil over, and serve at once.
