Instructions

  1. 1Peel the 1 large sweet potato and cut it into 1.27 cm cubes. Cut the 1 medium onion into 1.27 cm pieces. Cut the 1 bell pepper into 1.27 cm pieces.
  2. 2Remove the about 450 g chorizo from its casing. Place the crumbled about 450 g chorizo in a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked chorizo from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
  3. 3Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil to the 30.48 cm skillet with the chorizo fat. Add the cubed 1 large sweet potato, the cut 1 medium onion, and the cut 1 bell pepper. Cook over medium-high heat (176.7°C / 175°C), stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender when pierced with a fork and the vegetables are softened, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. 4Stir the 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and the 1/4 teaspoon cumin into the vegetables in the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
  5. 5While the vegetables cook, place the 1 package (about 340 g) silken tofu in a medium bowl. Crumble the tofu with your hands or a fork. Add the 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, salt to taste, and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
  6. 6Return the cooked about 450 g chorizo to the 30.48 cm skillet with the vegetables. Pour the crumbled tofu mixture over the vegetables and chorizo. Cook over medium heat (148.9°C / 150°C), stirring frequently, until the tofu mixture is heated through and slightly firm, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. 7Serve the Cuban Breakfast Hash immediately.
