Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 6 chicken sausages, sliced into chunks
• 300g sweet potato, peeled and diced
• Low calorie oil spray
• ½ red onion, diced
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp thyme
• 50g kale
• 4 eggs
• 80g feta
• 1 spring onion, sliced
• Freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Heat a frying pan with some low-calorie oil spray.
2. Add the sausage chunks to the pan and fry on a high heat to get the edges nice and crispy.
3. Next, lower the heat and allow the sausages to cook for 4-5 minutes before removing them from the pan.
4. Add some more low-calorie oil spray to the pan and sauté the onion and garlic until soft.
5. Now, add the red pepper and green pepper and cook for 2 minutes, before sprinkling over the spices.
6. Add the diced sweet potato to the pan and mix everything together well.
7. Cook for 10-12 minutes stirring regularly, adding a dash of water if needed and ensuring to cover the pan with a lid halfway through to further soften the potatoes.
8. Next, add the chicken sausages back to the pan with the kale and put the lid back on and cook for 2-3 minutes until the kale has wilted.
9. Now create 4 wells in the hash and crack the eggs into them.
10. Cover the pan with a lid or tin foil so that the eggs cook all the way through, cooking them to your liking.
11. Sprinkle over feta before removing the pan from the heat and topping the hash with spring onion and freshly ground black pepper.
