Best 4 Mixed Grill With A Warm Potato And Chorizo Salad Recipes

WARM CHICKEN AND CHORIZO SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet or stove-top grill pan, add the chorizo slices or chunks, and sauté gently on all sides until the juices run and the edges are slightly crisp. Set aside.
• Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl or pitcher. Use some of the mixture to brush the zucchini halves, then add them to the still-hot pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until hot and golden.
• Put the chicken into a large salad bowl and add the lettuce leaves and olives. Drizzle over the remaining vinaigrette, then add the chorizo and its juices, and the cilantro or parsley. Toss well, then serve immediately with garlic bread, toasted ciabatta, or warmed focaccia.

BBQ CHORIZO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins or until tender and a knife goes in easily. Drain the potatoes and return to the pan, then stand for 5-10 mins to steam-dry. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, season with salt, cover and chill until cold.
• Heat the barbecue (or heat a griddle pan if cooking indoors). Halve each large chorizo lengthways and put them, cut-side down, on the barbecue (small chorizo can go on whole). Cook, turning once or twice, until they are crisp around the edges and cooked through. Slice the chorizo into pieces.
• Combine the soured cream, mayonnaise and mustard, then add to the cold potatoes with the celery and dill. Gently fold the potatoes into the dressing, taking care not to break up them too much. Scatter the chorizo on top to serve.

WARM SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potato pieces. Once the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes until almost tender and a knife can go through without breaking a piece. Drain and transfer to a baking dish large enough to hold the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together orange juice, oil, sugar, and S & P in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Roast for about 20 minutes, turning them after 10 minutes, until the potatoes have started to brown and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the oven.
• Meanwhile, cook the chorizo in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; use a wooden spoon of spatula to break it into smaller pieces as it cooks. After 5-6 minutes, when it has nicely browned and crisped, us a slotted spoon to top the hot potatoes.
• Sprinkle the jalapeno, red onion and cilantro on top and toss gently to combine. Serve warm.

WARM CHORIZO, SWEET POTATO & EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Put the eggs and potatoes into a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. (Covering the pan with a lid will speed this up.) Uncover and boil for 6 mins, then lift out the eggs and cool in cold water. Leave the potato in the pan for another 4 mins, or until just tender when pricked in the middle with the tip of a knife. Drain and tip into a bowl.
• Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Toss the potato and chorizo in 1 tsp oil and season well. Griddle the potato for 2 mins on each side until charred. Meanwhile, peel and quarter the eggs - the yolks should still be a little soft in the middle.
• Tip the potato back into the bowl, then griddle the chorizo for a couple of mins until it crisps up and releases its red oil. Lift into the bowl, leaving the juices behind. Take the pan off the heat, then add the garlic and the rest of the oil, then sizzle for 30 secs. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Scatter the salad and tomatoes over 4 plates, top with the potato, egg and chorizo, then drizzle over the hot dressing.
