Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice @fresh pork chorizo{8%oz} into rounds. Add to a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until oil has rendered and rounds are crispy ~{4%minutes}. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, keeping as much oil in pan as possible.

Wash and dry all produce. While chorizo cooks, halve, peel, and slice @red onion{1%unit} into thin slices. Slice @polenta{1%tube} into ⅓-inch-thick rounds.

Add polenta in a single layer and cook until browned and crispy ~{3%minutes} per side. --TIP: Add a drizzle of @vegetable oil{} if pan seems dry. Transfer to a baking sheet. Place in oven to keep warm.

Heat another drizzle of vegetable oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1 tsp @tuscan heat spice{1%unit} (we sent more). Cook, tossing, until onion is softened ~{3%minutes}. Stir in @diced tomatoes{14%oz} and bring to a boil. Lower heat and reduce to a simmer. Season to taste with @salt{}, @pepper{}, and additional Tuscan heat spice to taste.

Add @spinach{2%cups} to pan and stir to combine. Continue simmering until spinach is wilted ~{2%minutes}. Set aside a few rounds of chorizo for garnish, then stir remaining rounds into pan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until liquid is mostly evaporated ~{2%minutes} more.

Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in another #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Crack @eggs{4} into pan and cook sunny side up to desired doneness ~{2%minutes}. Divide polenta between plates. Top with sauce and spinach mixture. Place an egg on top of each, then garnish with reserved chorizo.
