Welcome back to my Food For All series. My name is Pippa Kendrick, author of the Intolerant |
Gourmet and in this episode I am going to show you how to make chorizo, new potato, |
and watercress salad which just happens to be gluten free, dairy free, and egg free. |

So we have about 500 grams of new potatoes. Now normally, with new potatoes you steam |
or boil, but for this salad I'm going to roast them. Add some really nice flavor and also |
texture to the salad. So all I've done is chopped them up into bite size pieces. That |
is usually in halves or some just keep whole. And put them into a roasting tray. We are |
going to drizzle about two tablespoons of good quality olive oil over them. Just like |
that. And we will give them a mix and then they will go straight into the oven at 200 |
degrees for twenty minutes. |
So, here we have the chorizo. Now you have to be slightly careful when you are buying |
chorizo to make sure it is gluten and dairy free. There is a lot of good makes out there. |
The golden rule really is that the better quality chorizo, the less ingredients it has |
in it. So you just want it to have pork and spices and salt. If it contains milk or any |
other form of dairy then you do not want to use it. So we take our chorizo and we are |
just going to slice it in half length ways and cut them into about a centimeter thick |
half moons. For a full list of the ingredients and instructions just check the description |
box. |
So we finished cutting the chorizo and then once the new potatoes have started to roast |
which is twenty minutes, we will then add the chorizo in. We then put them back in the |
oven again, at 200 for another ten minutes. |
The roasted new potatoes and chorizo are out of the oven. And then you just want to set |
them aside for about ten minutes. You want them to be warm, but not to hot. Because if |
you put them onto the watercress hot it will just wilt. So, we have our bed of watercress |
there. Pick out any really thick stems that you do not want and then just simply scatter |
the chorizo and the new potatoes over the top of the watercress. |

potatoes and the chorizo. I have two spring onions which are just finely sliced on the |
diagonal. They add a bit of bite, which is always good. Scatter those over. Rather than |
a dressing you just use the juice of half a lemon. Because you have so much flavor from |
the chorizo and the roasted new potatoes and the peppery watercress that all you really |
want is something to cut through. And that is where the lemon juice comes in. So just |
squeeze that over and that will give you a really nice, clean, background note. |
So here we have it, my chorizo, new potato, chorizo, and watercress salad. Perfect for |
a light lunch. Join me again for another episode of my Food For All series. |
