Ingredients
4 large Maris Piper potatoes, grated (once grated, squeeze water out of the gratings)
1 bunch of parsley
6 eggs
2 tbsp of self-raising flour
Chorizo
1 onion
3 red peppers
75g of slivered almonds, toasted
Red wine vinegar
Smoked paprika
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Step 2
Slice up your red peppers and add to a baking tray. Season with salt, pepper and olive oil. Roast for 40 minutes until charred and soft.
Step 3
Slice up your chorizo. Add to a pan with no oil and fry on a low heat, gradually building up to a high heat until crispy and the fat has rendered out.
Step 4
Add your chorizo to a mixing bowl with your grated potatoes, a large handful of chopped parsley, two eggs, the self-raising flour and a sliced onion. Season with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix everything together.
Step 5
Line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper.
Step 6
Divide your potato mix into four. On the baking tray, mould each quarter into a rösti. Place the tray in the oven for 50 minutes until the röstis are golden and crispy.
Step 7
Romesco sauce time. Roughly chop up your peppers and add them to a blender with your almonds, a teaspoon of smoked paprika, a handful of parsley, three tablespoons of red wine vinegar and three tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until you have a smooth dollop-able sauce.
Step 8
Egg time. Heat a pan of water. Once simmering, whisk the water to form a whirlpool. Once the spinning water has slowed down, add an egg. Cook for 5 minutes and remove.
Step 9
Take your röstis out of the oven. For each plate add one rösti followed by a generous dollop of romesco sauce and top with your poached egg. Top with chopped parsley, a pinch of smoked paprika, salt, pepper and olive oil. Enjoy!
