Riojana style potatoes
This dish reflects the tradition of rustic cuisine with a particular character. A cuisine that was born in the valleys of the Community of La Rioja. Its main protagonist is chorizo; typical sausage that concentrates all that mixture of strong and forceful flavors; as well as the excellent wines that evoke Logroño (capital of the autonomous community), its villages and the passage of the Ebro River. Ingredients:
- 1 Riojan chorizo
- 3 Cloves of Garlic
- 1 Onion
- 1 Bell Pepper (indistinct color)
- 3 Tablespoons of olive oil INSTRUCTIONS:
- The potatoes should be peeled and cut into irregular cubes, providing texture to the presentation of the dish.
- The garlic is divided in the center, eliminating the stems and centers.
- Put 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan and wait for it to heat up. Sauté the onion and peppers until they release aroma into the air.
- Cut the chorizos into pieces, it is suggested to cut them into medium slices and in turn cut them into quarters, incorporating them into the sauce.
- Add half a cup of water and allow it to boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, wait for it to take on a little flavor and the characteristic reddish color of the sausage. Cover and let it cook over low heat. Let the cooking not evaporate the broth, since it is delicious to accompany it with bread, these two textures give that authentic touch of La Rioja, leaving the potatoes very soft, without becoming puree. Serve preferably in concave clay pots. The perfect formula is complemented with a red Grenache to enhance and delight perfect for lunch
