GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED PIQUILLO PEPPERS
Steps:
- Place the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, tossing, until golden brown and toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
- If necessary, trim the open end of each pepper so that it measures 1 1/2- to 2-inches long. Stir the chives, mint and parsley together in a small bowl.
- Place the goat cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy. Add the olive oil and beat until incorporated. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the herbs and beat to combine. Season the cheese mixture with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into a resealable plastic bag, snip off the tip of one corner and pipe the cheese into each pepper until about three-quarters full. Arrange the peppers on a platter and drizzle with more olive oil and some sherry vinegar. Sprinkle the peppers with the remaining herbs and the toasted almonds before serving.
SPANISH TORTILLA WITH CHORIZO, PIQUILLO PEPPERS AND GURROXTA CHEESE
Steps:
- For the chorizo: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until reduced. Remove from the heat, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Mix in the ground pork gently to combine. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the tortilla: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Return the pan over medium heat.
- Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the cheese, parsley, peppers and chorizo and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the pan, moving it around in the pan to help the tortilla to rise. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally, until it has set. Transfer to the oven and bake until set, about 15 minutes.
- When the tortilla is firm, remove from the oven, place a large plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Cut into wedges and serve.
