Below is Estefania Led Ramos’ recipe for potatoes rioja style, as featured in this episode:
INGREDIENTS (4 people)
Potatoes, rioja style! (Image: Estefania Led Ramos)
– 4 baking potatoes
– 1 small onion
– A half ring of chorizo
– 2 slices of pork belly
– Extra virgin olive oil
– Paprika
– Water
– Salt
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
1.- Peel the potatoes and wash.
2.- Part cut, part break the potato in pieces and wash (this helps to release starch during cooking and achieve a natural thick sauce).
3.- Dice the onion.
4.- Slice the chorizo and set aside.
5.- Chop the pork belly.
6.- Take a saucepan and heat a gentle glug of extra virgin olive oil on a medium heat. Add the diced onion and fry until slightly soft.
7.- Add the chorizo and pork belly to the pan and stir.
8.- Gently fry until the chorizo begins to release its oils and the pork belly fat has begun to break down.
9.- Add the potatoes to the pan, stir to ensure the fats and oils have a chance to coat everything.
10.- Add three tablespoons of Paprika and stir until the potatoes have a good covering.
11.- Add the water to the large pan, ensure the contents are well covered.
12.- Season with salt to taste, stir well.
13.- Bring to a gentle boil, cover and gently simmer for about 20 minutes (or until the potatoes are soft and floury).
14.- Keep an eye on the liquid level and add more if necessary.
15.- When finished allow to rest for 5 minutes off the heat so that the dish can relax.
