As I mentioned a while back the mustard greens in the garden have been doing very well, so here’s the first of my mustard green recipes. I have a lot of greens to use up so others will be soon to follow. This is sort of a Californian variation on a traditional Mexican breakfast dish. At home we call it “Huevos Ranchos Rivieras”. Dont ask me why. There’s really no good reason. Of course you can use regular Chorizo if you prefer, but why not try the healthier soy version? It’s easily available in most big super markets and pretty much the only meat substitute meat eaters always like. Even my Grandpa who is from Oaxaca likes it just as much as regular chorizo. He even buys it himself! This hearty breakfast is great for weekend brunch on Cinco De Mayo or otherwise or simply as a nice start to a busy workday. Jacq
