Chorizo, Potatoes and Green Beans with a Poached Egg

A bit more time, a bit more heat, a bit more Spanish flavouring: Chorizo, Potatoes and Green Beans with a Poached Egg is today's dinner. I parboil new potatoes until tender before draining and cutting in half and for the final few minutes while they cooking I steam the green beans above them. Meanwhile, I cook the sliced chorizo until it gives up it's fat before adding the halved potatoes and stirring it together. I plate up the potatoes, pile the green beans on top and put a poached egg at the peak of the food mountain and break the yolk so it spills through the beans, potatoes and chorizo down to the black plate. I really like the creaminess of the egg with the nutiness of the potatoes and crunchy spice of the chorizo in this dish. The addition of the beans gives it a welcome freshness.
