DUCK EGG OVER SWEET POTATO LEEK HASH

  

     When I saw duck eggs at the Farmer's Market I had to have them. I wanted to really taste them, so I fried them over Sweet Potato Leek Hash.

     The eggs were not easy to crack open, but when I finally smashed it against the pan a few times, what came out was gorgeous. The yoke is huge, the size of a ping pong. The flavor is very different from chicken eggs. Its very eggy and tastes almost grassy.

     The hash is really tasty, sweet and oniony and nice when it soaks up the runny yoke. A nice hearty breakfast.

Sweet Potato Leek Hash
2 Sweet Potatoes diced very small
2 leeks chopped finely
1/4 red onion chopped finely
dash of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper

Sautee the leeks and red onion until translucent then add the sweet potatoes and cook until soft and caramelized. Season with cayenne and salt and pepper.

GOING BIG AND GREASY

You know that something delicious is on the table when your stovetop looks like a greasy mess. We had some leftover pork sausage and ground meat from the Ludlow, VT Farmer's Market, plus some supermodel eggs, so I made this greasy hash topped with a sunny side up egg. 
     I chopped up some onions, garlic and potatoes really finely. Mike helped because he hates the texture of onions so he was motivated. Then I sauteed the onions and garlic with peperoncino, broke up the meat and browned it, then added the potatoes and sauteed everything until it was soft. I made sure to scrape up the greasy crispy bits from the bottom of the pan cause it would be a shame not to eat that. Salt and pepper. Then, just a sunny side up egg on top and there you have the "going big an greasy" breakfast.
