Butterbean board with chorizo padron peppers & almonds
Ingredients
Extra virgin olive oil
180 g padron peppers
200 g Brindisa additive-free mini cooking chorizo, sliced
700 g jar Perello butter beans
1 unwaxed lemon, zest only
Green and black olives
Sea salt and black pepper
1 pack Padron peppers
Salted Marcona almonds or Salted Catalan almonds
Savoury butter crackers
Method
Add a generous amount of olive oil to a non-stick frying pan. When the oil is smoking, add the Padron peppers and fry until blistered. Remove to a plate and salt generously.
Cook the chorizo in the pan on a medium heat until the fat runs and they start to caramelise.
Drain the butterbeans in a sieve, pour into a food blender and blitz until smooth. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Spoon the butterbean puree onto a plate, leaving pockets. Sprinkle over the padron peppers, chorizo, olives and lemon zest. Add a little more extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper and serve with smoked almonds and savoury butter crackers.
Alternatives: top with the cocktail mix, pickled gherkins, caper berries or pickled garlic and scoop up with Torres crisps.
