Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 52m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 red bell peppers, grilled, peeled, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon champagne or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Spanish smoked paprika
Canola oil
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

Heat the grill to high. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover by 1-inch with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, bring to boil over high heat and cook until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain, let cool slightly and halve.
While the potatoes are cooking, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, peppers, garlic, vinegar, paprika and salt and pepper in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
Brush the cut sides of the potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill cut side down until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Toss the potatoes with the red pepper mayonnaise while still warm, mashing slightly to break them up. Fold in the parsley and season with salt and pepper, if needed.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound rotelle or other short shaped pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound chorizo, thinly sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, stemmed and caps thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, cut into very thin julienne
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and boil 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chorizo and saute 2 to 3 minutes or until both sides are slightly brown and crisp around the edges. With a slotted spoon transfer sausages to a bowl and set aside. Add the onions, mushrooms and peppers to the remaining fat in the skillet and cook, stirring continuously until the onions and peppers are somewhat tender, about 3 minutes. Add the caraway seeds, water and cooked chorizo. Cover and simmer over low heat until peppers and onions are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the mixture on occasion so that it does not scorch. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot off heat. Add the chorizo mixture and sour cream and toss the ingredients together. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately garnished with parsley.

Potatoes with Peppers and Chorizo image

Yield Makes 12 servings (as part of tapas buffet)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb medium boiling potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 fresh jalapeño chiles
1 large onion, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 lb green bell or Italian frying peppers, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1/2 cup finely chopped Spanish chorizo (cured spiced pork sausage; 2 oz; casings discarded if desired)
3/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

Make a crosswise cut halfway through 1 potato, then break it apart. Turn potato cut sides down, then cut and break halves in same manner. Repeat halving and breaking until pieces are about 1 1/2 inches. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté potatoes with salt, turning occasionally, until browned and just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer potatoes with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving oil in skillet.
Cut a 1 1/2-inch lengthwise slit in each chile, then add to skillet along with onion, peppers, and chorizo and reduce heat to moderate. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard chiles, then add pepper mixture to potatoes along with salt and pepper to taste and toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature.
