INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups chopped butternut squash
• 1-2 link all natural or organic italian sausage or breakfast sausage patty (casing removed if it's a link)*- you could also use ground meat of your choice- turkey, pork, lean grass fed ground beef or chicken
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• dash sea salt
• 2 large handful kale, deveined and chopped
• 2 tbsp water
• 1-2 eggs if desired
• salt and pepper to taste

Thinly sliced green onion for garnish
 
INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat a small-medium heavy skillet over med heat. Add coconut oil and melt.
• Add the chopped butternut squash to the pan, stirring to brown, and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt.
• Cook squash for about 5-10 minutes, covering to let them soften, stirring to evenly brown
• When squash is nearly done, break the sausage/ ground meat into small pieces and add to pan. Stir and break down smaller to evenly brown.
• Once the squash and sausage are browned, add the kale and 1 tbsp water to the pan and toss to coat. Cover pan and allow kale to steam. Add another tbsp or so of water if needed
• After about a minute, check kale and stir. Once kale is soft, make small grooves in the hash and crack the eggs one at a time in the grooves and add salt and pepper if you like. Cover the pan, and lower the heat while the egg cooks.
• I like to cook the eggs until the whites are just solid and the yolks are still a little runny. Works well for this meal but of course cook them to your liking!
• Transfer to a plate (the whole thing should be able to slide right onto your plate, if not, just scoop it out), garnish with sliced green onion if you want, and wait a minute so you don't burn your mouth. It's not as good that way, I did it this morning and regretted it. Enjoy!
