Method

Prep time: 10 min
Cooking time: 30 min

  • Step 1

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, 20 minutes or so, depending on size, then chop into wedges.

  • Step 2

    Boil or steam the purple sprouting broccoli for 4 minutes, until just tender. Drain and refresh in very cold water, then drain again.

  • Step 3

    Peel the skin off the chorizo. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, crumble in the chorizo, add the potato and fry for a few minutes to cook the chorizo through and crisp the potato.

  • Step 4

    Add the broccoli and fry for a minute to warm through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of parsley if you like.
