4 servings
For the salsa verde
- 8 oz fresh tomatillos (about 5–6 medium), husked and rinsed
- 1 jalapeño, stemmed and halved
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits chili peppers because they can pick up mold once they are dried and stored, but the peppers on this line are used fresh, not dried, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chili peppers, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 scallions (green tops only), roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
For the hash
- 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 8 oz whole30-compliant chorizo or ground pork sausage, casings removed if needed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient noteDried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/8 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the eggs
- 4–8 large eggs
- 1 tsp avocado oil

Instructions
- 1
Make the salsa verde: Place the tomatillos and jalapeño halves cut-side down on a dry 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until the tomatillos are charred in spots and beginning to soften, then flip and cook 2–3 minutes more until the skins are blistered and the tomatillos are fully softened. Transfer to a blender along with the scallion greens, cilantro, lime juice, and ½ tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

Wipe out the skillet and heat 1 tbsp of the avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer, season with the cumin, smoked paprika, ½ tsp salt, and black pepper, and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the undersides are golden brown. Stir and continue cooking, stirring every 2–3 minutes, for another 8–10 minutes until the cubes are tender when pierced with a fork and caramelized on most sides. Transfer to a plate.
