Instructions

Roast the Wedges
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).

c) Pop the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Start the Chorizo
2

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Drain and rinse the mixed beans in a sieve. Pop half of them into a bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork.

c) Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil). Once the pan is hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 2-3 mins.

 

Bring on the Beans
3

a) Stir the garlic and chipotle paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder) into the beans, cook for a further 1 min. 

b) Add the beans (both whole and mashed), water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), chicken stock paste and a pinch of sugar (if you have any). Bring the bean mixture to the boil and simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated, 6-8 mins.

c) While everything cooks, grate the cheese.

d) Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). 

Melt the Cheese and Serve
4

a) When the wedges are cooked, remove from the oven and turn your oven to grill setting.

b) Pop the wedges into an appropriately sized ovenproof dish and spoon over the chipotle chorizo beans. Sprinkle over the cheese and grill until golden, 2-3 mins. 

c) Sprinkle over the coriander to finish.

Enjoy!
