Roasted Chorizo Potatoes Recipes

ROASTED POTATO-CHORIZO HORS D'OEUVRES

Steps:

• In a saucepan of actively boiling lightly salted water, blanch the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tines of a fork will just pierce the surface. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, cut them in half and score the cut side of each with the tines of a fork. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees an heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, combine the potatoes with the olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper and toss together until evenly coated. Transfer the potatoes to the hot skillet and spread them out into an even layer so they are hardly touching each other. Heat until sizzling, then transfer the skillet to the hot oven. Toast, turning over every 10 minutes, for about 30 minutes, until very crisp and golden.
• While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons water. Cook the sausages for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally and pouring off the fat as it accumulates. Drain the sausages briefly on a double thickness of paper towels and slice them 3/4 thick. Place a slice of sausage on top of each roasted potato half and secure with a toothpick. Assemble the hors d'oeuvres on a platter and squeeze a little lime juice over them. Serve, accompanied by Avocado Salsa

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the clumps, until dry and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a paper lined plate to absorb any additional oil. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan and heat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and boiled potatoes and saute until brown, about 12 minutes. Stir in the cooked chorizo and season with just a little salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

SPANISH ROAST CHICKEN, CHORIZO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place potatoes with 2 of the lemons into pot of boiling wate for 5 minutes. Drain, then prick the lemons all over with a knife. (You will be putting these inside the chicken and the heat from them will help the chicken to cook quicker from the inside as well as making it taste and smell wonderful.).
• Remove the parsley leaves from the stalks and save the leaves to use later. Stuff the chicken with the hot lemons and the stalks of the parsley.
• Season the chicken and the potatoes with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Slice the chorizo at an angle, 1/4 inch thick.
• Oil a roasting pan and lay the potatoes in the center, then place the chicken on top and sprinkle with the chorizo and a few of the parsley leaves (leaving the rest of the leaves for part of the finishing garnish). Drizzle the chicken with a little olive oil. Take a piece of wax paper (large enough to cover your roasting pan) and wet it so it becomes flexible, then shake it out and lay it over the top of the ingredients in the baking pan, tucking it in snugly so the juices don't escape (Don't plaster it tightly against the chicken or it will stick - tent and tuck.) Cook in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• While the chicken and potatoes are cooking, finely chop the zest of your 2 remaining lemons, the parsley leaves and the garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss together to create a seasoning-type garnish.
• Remove the pan from the oven, take chicken out and put to one side to rest. Give the potatoes a shake and put them back in the oven for a few more minutes to crisp up. I set the oven to broil for this part, so the potatoes would crisp faster. Just keep an eye on them.
• Carve the chicken and divide between 4 plates, with the potatoes and chorizo. The potatoes will have taken on the smoky flavor from the chorizo, so if there is any juice left in the pan, pour every bit over the plates. Sprinkle over the seasoning garnish (when it hits the hot juice, it will smell fabulous).

SMASHED POTATOES WITH CHORIZO

CHORIZO AND POTATOES WITH ROASTED PEPPERS AND EGG

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add chorizo and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cook until heated through. Add peppers and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Wipe skillet clean.
• In same skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Working in two batches, add eggs and cook until whites are set and edges are golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Serve chorizo and potato mixture topped with eggs.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO, BLACK BEAN, AND CHORIZO BREAKFAST BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, cumin, and salt in a medium bowl. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring after 10 minutes, until browned and cooked, 18 to 20 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, combine black beans, cumin, salt, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until warmed through, 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
• Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up any large clumps, for 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Reserve about 1 tablespoon grease in the skillet, adding butter as needed to make up the difference.
• Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set and yolks reach the desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide sweet potatoes, drained black beans, chorizo, and avocados between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with an egg.

PATATAS BRAVAS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat a little oil in a pan, fry the onion, garlic and chilli until the onion softens, add the cayenne and paprika and stir. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, then cook the whole mixture down for about 20 mins until you have a thick paste. Season well and, if you prefer a smooth sauce, blitz it with a hand blender.
• Meanwhile, steam the potatoes for 10 mins and put the chorizo in a frying pan to slowly cook and release some of its oil. Tip off the excess red oil and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the potatoes and fry everything together, turning the heat up as you go so both the potatoes and chorizo brown in patches. Tip into a bowl. Season the sauce - if it isn't hot enough add a few more pinches of cayenne. Spoon the sauce over the potatoes and chorizo to serve.
