Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ of a 250g chorizo sausage ring, thinly sliced
200g chard , sliced
2 large eggs
125g quick-cook polenta
30g parmesan , grated
2 tbsp olive oil
½ small bunch parsley , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook for 5 mins or until starting to crisp. Stir through the chard and leave to wilt for 5-8 mins, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Bring a pan of water to the boil, reduce to a simmer, then quickly stir the water with a wooden spoon to create a whirlpool. Once the whirlpool has almost completely subsided, crack an egg into the centre of it. Gently simmer for 3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. Set aside on a plate while you poach the remaining egg.
  • Cook the polenta following pack instructions, then mix in the parmesan, oil, parsley and some seasoning. Spoon the polenta onto plates and top with the chorizo, chard and a poached egg.
