With that being said, the meal I cooked came from the TV show: The Chew. I watch this show pretty much everyday and I even have the DVR set to record the series. It is hilarious as well as informative. I love the cast, and more especially the kinds of meals they cook. They cater to the normal home cook, and everything they cook is pretty easy or at least they make it look easy! Some of the foods Batali uses is kind of "exotic" to me, but he uses more Italian ingredients and black truffles and I use more American ingredients and I opt to not may a $$$$ on black truffles and just wait until I am on Princess Cruise to eat it :)
So I am going to be a tad bit lazy, and let you click on the link above for the recipe. Michael Symon used Kielbasa, but I happened to have Chorizo on hand in the freezer. Even on the show Michael said you could use Chorizo if you wanted to. However, I forgot to buy Cilantro and I thought I had jalapenos in the fridge. Needless to say, I did not have jalapenos, and if I would have had both ingredients, then I am sure the meal would have been taken to a whole different level. I just love cilantro, just like I love sorbet. And thats a lot of love...
Jimmy rated this a 10/10. I rated this like a 6.5/10. The reason being, I hate breakfast sausage. I think the Chorizo reminded me of breakfast sausage. Fair? No. Normally I am the leftover queen and I am able to eat leftovers for the next couple of days, but I have about five servings in the fridge and I am relying on Jimmy to finish it.
It is still an easy meal to make, easy on the wallet, and not to bad on a cold winter day.
