Spicy Nduja Hash with Eggs for Brunch

This recipe is inspired by the dish that was made for brunch on Something for the Weekend. Since I had all the ingredients required, I whipped this up in a flash, well almost and it was the most delicious quickie meal ever. A dish with a fried onions, crispy bits of potato, hints of spicy sausage and oozy eggs, a perfect brunch dish (great for hangovers).

What is Nduja?

Nduja is a soft spicy salami from Calabria which is made from offal and lots of chilli and it works brilliantly in making a delicious potato hash. Alternatively, you can use the Spanish Sobrasada as it is quite similar. To  make it even better, break some eggs on top of the hash to make a full on Brunch dish.

When the nduja melts on cooking, the flavour of the oil seeps into the onions and potatoes giving it a deep savoury flavour. Totally delicious.

You can buy nduja at some of the bigger Waitrose, at the Calabrian stall in Borough Market, any Italian delis or online.
