A breakfast hash is one of our favorite and most frequently made breakfast options because it is versatility. It is an easy way to scramble various sauteed and or raw vegetables into a mealtime that is typically very heavy in carbohydrates. I am not implying carbohydrates are horrible; rather, non-starchy vegetables are a priority. We use this sausage as a flavoring to load veggies in at breakfast, so feel free to tweak it based on your needs. If you are slowly working your way to raw and needing more cooked veggies, start using the sausage as a mix-in with other cooked vegetables in a true hash form. Some options to include in your cooked hash include sauteed kale, roasted sweet potato, eggplant, broccoli, onion, etc. and top with or without a fried egg. If you are at the diet phase where you are finally working on getting more raw in, you can easily include this sausage into a breakfast chopped salad with scrambled eggs, chopped romaine, tomato, jicama, microgreens, avocado, carrots, etc. We add as much or as little of this sausage to hash based on individual issues.
