Moderate Carb Breakfast Hash
If you are on the Paleo diet, or carb cycling, you will love this moderate carb and high protein breakfast that is easy to pull together. You will also love that it can be cooked in the same pot for minimal clean-up! Freshly ground pork is sauteed with kosher salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper. Feel free to use freshly minced garlic, too, as you can swap these interchangeably. Then, diced white onion is sauteed with white sweet potatoes for deliciously sweet and savory flavors. If you have never had white sweet potatoes, they are like a cross between Russet potatoes and sweet potatoes (meaning less sweet and more starchy)! The crisp red bell peppers are added along with nutritious lacinato kale. The mixture is combined to make a filling meal that works perfectly for leftovers.
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients before starting to cook. Dice the white onion. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into a small ½” dice. Chop the bell peppers into 1”x1” dice. Wash, spin dry, destem and slice the kale into thin slices. Set the ingredients aside.
Step 2
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. I like to use a blue steel pan. Add 1 tbsp avocado oil. Wait until a small wisp of smoke comes up from the pan. Add the ground pork.
Step 3
Cook the pork, stirring occasionally. Add 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper. Cook the pork until it is no longer pink and entirely cooked through. Place the pork into a bowl and set aside.
Step 4
Add 2 tbsp of avocado oil to the same pan and swirl the pan to coat it. Add in the diced white onion and the diced sweet potato. Stir the mixture constantly for a while to make sure it is not sticking. If it does stick, add a small amount of oil and continue stirring. Add ½ tsp of kosher salt. Once the potatoes start to brown and soften, taste them to see how much longer you need to cook them. Also, check for taste, adding more salt as necessary.
Step 5
Once the sweet potatoes are about 70% cooked. Add in the red bell pepper and the sliced kale. Cook until the bell pepper is softened but still crunchy.
Step 6
Add the pork back to the pan. Stir everything well together—taste adjusting with salt or pepper until it is to your liking. Serve immediately!
