Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- ½ cup huauzontle florets
- 1 jicama
- 4 ham slices thinly cut
- 1 argentina sausage or any sausage of your choice
- 4-5 large eggs
- salt and pepper
- ghost decorations
Instructions
- Prepare huauzontole: take the stems of the huauzontle plant and pick out the florets. Quickly soak it in water and drain the water. Bring a pot of water to boil and quickly cook it for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare jicama: cut off the ends of the jicama root and using a vegetable peeler, take out all the skin. Slice ¼ inch of the jicama. Using a paring knife, start to carve out mini graveyard shapes from the jicama slice. You probably need around 5-7 pieces.
- To cook: In a frying pan, add 1 tsp of oil. Lightly sautée the ham until slightly brown and add the sausage slices. Cook for 5 minute.
- Add in the eggs. Scramble the eggs until it is half cooked, and add in the huauzontle florets. Keep stirring and breaking up the eggs. Add salt and pepper.
- Place everything in a shallow bowl. Randomly and spacing the gravestone evenly around the plate. Then add in your ghost spacing it evenly around the plate as well. Enjoy! If you have children 3 and under, do not leave the food unattended with the plastic ghosts. They need to be taken out when children are ready to eat and not within their reach. All small plastics can be a choking hazard.
