Ideal for a summer BBQ or Picnic.
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Cut the cooked new potatoes in half and roll in a drizzle of vegetable oil, turmeric, ½ tsp. paprika and salt. Place on a baking tray, lay the chorizo sausages on top and cook in oven for 20mins.
Warm 1tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan or wok; add the celery, onion, fennel and fennel seed and colour gently for five minutes. When soft add the garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, then the sherry and cook for a few minutes.
Next add the dried red chilli, cumin seeds, thyme and tomato puree, followed by the beans, lentils, chopped tomatoes and cherry tomatoes cook for a few minutes adding a little water if the pan looks dry.
Add the kale to the pan and stir in, simmer until wilted. Add parsley, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and season to taste.
Cut sausages and arrange on the plate with all of the other salad ingredients.
Top Tip: If you don’t want the onions to brown too much add a splash of water. Remember not to cook using olive oil as this dulls the flavour. Cook using vegetable oil instead.
