Jersey Royals with Crispy Chorizo and Manchego Cheese by Matt Healy

Serves 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
500g Jersey Royal potatoes
300g soft cooking chorizo
10 cherry tomatoes
Handful of rocket
50g unsalted butter
1 bunch of mint
Salt
Manchego cheese
House dressing
Tip
Crack the mint stems and leaves between your fingers to release the flavour.
Method:
- Add the Jersey Royals to a large saucepan with a pinch of salt. Cover with cold water
and bring to the boil. Add the butter and a handful of mint to the pan and boil for
around 15 minutes. Drain and slice the potatoes in half. - Slice the chorizo into small discs and gently fry in a pan. When caramelised, return
the halved potatoes to the pan and toss the pan to coat the potatoes in the chorizo
oil. - Lay some greaseproof paper onto a board and lay out the potatoes and chorizo.
Slice the tomatoes in half and place on top. Scatter with the rocket and then, using a
peeler, peel the Manchego into thin ribbons over the top. Finally, drizzle with house
dressing and finish with a sprinkle of salt.
