Quick, simple, tasty.
Spicy chorizo, pepper and cherry tomato jacket potato
Today, I’m bringing you a meaty, chunky, flavour-packed meal. It's spicy chorizo, pepper and cherry tomato jacket potato
Servings: 2 potatoes
Calories: 370kcal
Ingredients
- 2 jacket potatoes
- 150 g (5.3 oz) chorizo cut into chunky slices
- 150 g (5.3 oz) fresh cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 small red pepper deseeded and sliced
- handful fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Skewer the potatoes through a few times to allow steam to reach the middle, then place on a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 1 hour.
- Heat the chorizo in a dry pan until the oil is released.
- Add the pepper and tomatoes to the pan with the parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- When the potatoes are cooked, cut open slightly and top with the chorizo and juicy tomato sauce.
Notes
We find that a considerable amount of oil is released from the chorizo during cooking, so you won't need to add any butter to the potato, unless you want to. For an extra treat, try adding cheese and putting the whole thing back in the oven to melt. Delicious!
