Spicy chorizo and nutty sweet potato make a great tapas-style combo. If you don't have chorizo, use any good spicy pork sausage.

Ingredients (8)

  • 2 (about 600g total) sweet potatoes
  • 2 chorizo sausages, sliced 1cm thick
  • 12 coriander leaves, to garnish

Aioli

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 100ml vegetable oil

Method

  • 1.
    For the aioli, whiz egg, garlic, juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. With the motor running, add olive oil, then vegetable oil, in a steady, barely-there trickle until the mixture is thick and smooth. Refrigerate, covered, for 3-4 days until needed.
  • 2.
    Cut straight down the sides of the sweet potato, removing the "hips". Peel and cut into 2cm-thick slices, then cut each slice into 2cm cubes. Cook in a steamer over a pan of simmering water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Cool to room temperature and season well.
  • 3.
    Sizzle chorizo in a non-stick pan over high heat for 40 seconds each side or until crisp. To serve, top each sweet potato cube with a piece of chorizo, a dab of aioli and a coriander leaf.
