Chorizo and Potato Snack
serves 2
Ingredients
4 large potatoes – boiled with skins on
1 chorizo sausage
½ t smoked chili flakes
1 large red onion – chopped finely
125 ml grated Emmentaler cheese
Method
Heat a skillet or pan on the stove and add the chopped up chorizo to the pan. After a while the chorizo will render some delicious smokey oil in which you can fry the onion and tomatoes. Add the smoked chili flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions and tomatoes have softened up. In the meantime, cut your potatoes in a criss-cross and give them a squeeze to make a nice bed for the lovely chorizo sauce. Scatter some cheese over the potatoes and then the hot sauce and finish off with some more grated cheese and shome chopped coriander.
A Delicious light lunch or pick-me-up afternoon snack!
Cook’s Notes – For a healthier option, leave out the chorizo and just use ½ t smoked paprika when frying the onions and add 3 chopped tomatoes. I also added some baby spinach for extra flavor and texture. For a “lighter option” cheese, try Edam.
