Chorizo Potatoes
Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat
Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I do love Nigel Slater recipes and I think all of this weeks reviews are from this book. There are very few recipes that have disappointed from this guy, he really does know his stuff.
So tonight’s recipe was easy to make but I did have a couple of quirks with it....
Firstly, I forgot to write down exactly how much chorizo I needed so bought a pack of diced cooking chorizo from Sainsbury’s. When I got home I realised I only had 150g 😱 instead of 250g.
Fortunately this turned out for the better because my potatoes were slightly smaller and 150g really was enough for them.
I also decided to use a 50/50 mix of cheddar and mozzarella as I cannot for the life in me seem to be able to get hold of Manchego cheese so google said to use mozzarella or cheddar....so I used both!
Cooking wise, the potatoes took longer than 45 minutes to be cooked right through they took 1hr 15, so basically cook your potatoes as per your own timings.
The house then smelled amazing with wafts of chorizo drifting through it. 😋
All I can say is the finished result was fantastic. It’s the humble potato goes to Spain, meets a Spanish chorizo and evolves into the most delicious dish!
Aga conversion: Cook your potato how you normally do it. I used the grid shelf on the bottom set of runners and baked for 1hr 15 in the roasting oven. The second bake was only 10 minutes and in the same oven and same position. I used the Aga sauté pan on the boiling plate for frying the filling.
Will I make this again? Absolutely it was delicious
