Ingredients
- 400g new potatoes, halved
- 100g chorizo, chopped into small pieces
- 250g fresh scallops
- 150g frozen peas
- knob of butter
- small handful fresh mint, finely chopped
Preparation
Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 12 mins or until softened. Add the peas to the pan for the final 2 mins
In the meantime, put a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and fry the chorizo for a couple of mins. Remove from the pan and place to one side
Using the same pan, fry the scallops for 2-3 mins each side or until cooked through
Once the potatoes and peas are cooked, drain them then add back to the pan with a knob of butter, the fresh mint and season with pepper and salt, if using. Mash and mix it all together with a potato masher
Divide the mash between plates, place the scallops on top then sprinkle over some chorizo pieces. Drizzle over some olive oil and serve
