Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William Morrow, 1993.
Poblano Hash Browns:
- 1 cup chopped chorizo sausage
- 3/4 cup chopped yellow onions
- 1 1/2 cups chopped poblano pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pounds baking potatoes, such as russets, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and parboiled
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon Essence
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves
Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook the chorizo, slowly rendering the fat, and stirring occasionally until the meat is crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the pan using a slotted spoon, and add the onions and poblano peppers to the pan and saute, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 30 seconds. Add the butter, the potatoes, sage, Essence, salt and pepper. Continue to cook the hash, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are warmed through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with the cilantro and serve while hot.
Yield: 4 servings

I was very skeptical about the use of chili on my steak, but WOW was it good! And for once I followed the recipe to a T and it was perfect! I always find something to change in a recipe (even my own but this one was great as is. The hash is the perfect accompaniment.

Didn't smoke the steak, just did it on the grill. Hash browns are delicious.

I haven't tried many of emeril's recipes, but the few that I have tried, I was disappointed with. This recipe looks delicious, I was hoping that I could read some reviews before I made it. I will be checking for reviews before I make this attempt.
