The star of this dish is the chorizo, a spicy Spanish sausage that adds a depth of flavor to the dish. The Manchego cheese, a sheep’s milk cheese from the La Mancha region of Spain, adds a creamy and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the chorizo.
To make this dish, you will need potatoes, onions, eggs, chorizo, and Manchego cheese. The potatoes and onions are sliced thinly and cooked until they are tender and golden brown. The chorizo is then added to the pan and cooked until it is crispy and the fat has rendered out. The eggs are then whisked together and poured over the potato and chorizo mixture. The Manchego cheese is sprinkled on top and the whole dish is cooked until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
The result is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any occasion. Serve it with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal. ¡Buen provecho!
