Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the fingerling potatoes, then cut them in half lengthwise. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

2

Cook the Chorizo Bolognese

In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. Crumble the Spanish chorizo into the pan and cook until browned. Stir in a splash of water to create a bolognese sauce and let simmer on low heat.

3

Prepare the Kale

Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing the stems. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and massage the leaves until they start to soften. Spread on a baking sheet and bake alongside the potatoes for the last 10 minutes.

4

Cook the Abalone

Heat a small pan with a tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the abalone on both sides for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.

On a plate, arrange a serving of roasted fingerling potatoes, spoon over the chorizo bolognese, and place the seared abalone on top. Garnish with crispy kale and serve immediately.
