Not bad at all.

Scrambled Egg with Chorizo de Leon

 A simple breakfast dish made with caramelised onion (cooked first in olive oil), diced courgette (half), baby plum tomatoes, and diced chorizo sausage.

The egg was beaten in a bowl with a little water before being added to the skillet. Two minutes and it is ready. Delicious!
