After...
It seems like all my posts so far have focused on quick and easy suppers, so here's one to balance it out. This isn't at all difficult, but it is a bit labour-intensive (there's LOTS of chopping). However, it's fantastic if, like us, you are middle-class city yuppies who have a weekly veg box delivery, since it gives you the opportunity to use up all those random, tired-looking odds and ends that are lurking in the back of your fridge.
Roasted Vegetables With Chorizo & Cheese
Gather together all your strange bits of veg that have been left over from other meals, and which are starting to wilt at the edges. Last night, we had potatoes, carrots, kohlrabi, spring greens, and kohlrabi tops (not sure if they have a proper name. Sorry, kohlrabi tops!) Peel and chop as needed. You will need to parboil the potatoes, and it's a good idea to give the carrots and kohlrabi a couple of minutes too, just to soften them up. Then spread them all out on a baking tray, cover in a good dousing of olive oil, plus salt, pepper, chili flakes, and dried herbs. Add some chopped chorizo and give it all a good forty minutes in a low oven. When it's all looking crispy and delicious, add the greens, and pop back in the oven for about fifteen minutes. Above you can see the finished result all smoky and sizzling, just coming out of the oven. Ten seconds later it was covered in cheese and thirty seconds later I was inhaling it whilst indulging in repeats of The West Wing. What? I'm not ashamed.
