Patatas Bravas With Chorizo Recipes

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, 2 cups olive oil, and 3 teaspoons salt in a large cold skillet. Heat on low and cook until potatoes are softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Increase heat to high and fry until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with 1 teaspoon salt in the hot oil until onion has softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, chile, and smoked paprika; simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and return to a simmer. Transfer tomato mixture to a blender, cover, and puree until tomato sauce is smooth.
• Serve patatas bravas with tomato puree and and mayonnaise for dipping.

Steps:

• Slice up the chorizo and dry fry in a large frying pan for a minute. Add the sliced new potatoes and cook for 5 minutes until golden. The add the cumin seeds, 1 seeded and sliced fresh red chilli and chopped garlic clove and cook for 2 minutes. Tip in the can of chopped tomatoes, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/355F.
• Put the baby potatoes in a large baking dish or roasting tray along with the garlic.
• Rub the paprika all over the chicken, then tuck it in between the potatoes and garlic in the dish/tray. Drizzle everything with olive oil (probably about 2 tablespoons) and jiggle around a little. Finally, sprinkle the cayenne pepper over the chicken (if using) and grind a generous amount of salt/pepper over the whole dish.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, then remove from the oven, jiggle the potatoes around a bit and add the chorizo to the dish (poke it down well so that it doesn't dry out). Then add the tomatoes. Return the dish/tray to the oven for another 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and drizzle over the balsamic vinegar. Scatter over the basil and serve.
