PALEO SAMOSA BREAKFAST HASH

I was craving something new for breakfast, so I decided to throw together something like a hash. I came up with I am calling a "samosa hash", and it was a really great change from the usual bacon and eggs.
Samosas are generally small triangle shaped pastries that are filled with onion, spices and either vegetables and/or meat. This recipe creates the delicious filling and uses ground chicken,rutabagas and fresh spinach to create a hash that is then topped with eggs. This makes a savory and unique breakfast, but it can be eaten any time of the day.
Cooking the spices at the beginning of the recipe is an important step because it allows them to release their essentials oils. You only need to cook them long enough until you can smell their aroma being released.
The chicken mixture saves well, so you can freeze individual sized portions and heat them up whenever you want something hearty and delicious for breakfast. And yes, you can use ground beef instead of chicken if you like. Enjoy!
