Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

    A strong, smokey taste that was delicious. Just beware if you make this as a starter as your guests will fill themselves up on these and leave no room for the main!

    This was really tasty, I didn't have any cayenne pepper so I used hot chilli powder instead. One thing I did find was that the potatoes definitely need longer than 10 minutes, but maybe that's just because my pieces were quite large.

    I made these on Sunday and altered the method slightly, I boiled the potatoes as I wanted to steam something else above them...I would rather they got a bit crispier in the frying pan and might try them in the oven next time. I blended the sauce as suggested and the whole dish was yummy!

    Wow! I also boiled the potatoes and used chilli flakes. Served with the "easiest ever paella" and garlic bread. Delicious. Next time I will add sliced peppers.

    Oh my goodness, how delicious! We had no cayenne pepper so substituted mild curry powder, and added panchetta to bulk it out into a main meal. Will DEFINATELY make again, and plan to use the sauce to use in paella.

    Would really recommend this dish altho I quartered baby potatoes and steamed them for 25 mins and some of them were still hard so would recommend at least 30 mins of steaming. Was a delicious warming dish for a winters night served with a lovely rioja. I served with fig jam and cream on the side which complemented the spice just beautifully. V simple dish for a main!
