Cooking with Raymond - Warm Chorizo and Pancetta Salad

Raymond Lin · 19 Feb 2011 at 14:05

Chorizo and Pancetta Salad

You will need the following and some Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar.

1. Put salad on plate

Slice the chorizo and tomatoes

Put the pancetta and chorizo into a pan and fry without any oil, then put some kitchen paper into a bowl and put the cooked chorizo and pancetta in it to soak up the fat and cool

Now the dressing, put some basil in to a pestle and mortar with some extra virgin olive oil and bash it a bit and put in some balsamic vinegar.

put in the chorizo and pancetta and olives, then season.

Then drizzle in the dressing and grate some parmesan on top to finish it off.

That looks like a very tasty lunch.

Pancetta is girl bacon.

Go for the proper stuff.

Looks awesome (food and pictures)

Mmmmmm! Love a nice bit of chorizo, never had it in a salad so this might be a recipe to try some point soon

looks nice, "cooking" is pushing it a bit though

There was fire involved, then it is cooking

Very nice

Awesome photos as well

Looks good.
I do something similar, without tomatoes and pancetta, but with garlic croutons and quartered hard boiled eggs (cooked so that the yolks are just about set)

He's improved on his depth of field. With so little cooking involved he had time to get it better.

It's in the day, hence it doesn't need to be so narrow

There is a reason for everything

I want cook this but would it be the same with Tesco Finest or has it got to be Marks and Spencer?

Makunouchi · 19 Feb 2011 at 14:34

I like both the food and the pictures, very nicely done Ray

Looks good. I would minus Pancetta if using Chorizo otherwise it's too meaty for me. Good pics and info as before.

Will this be a weekly thing?

Nice lunch, could always get some sliced/crushed pine nuts in there too.

Crank it up a notch and make it a macho salad.

Great photos, the food doesn't look half bad either.

I now want FF. (Full Frame, not Fat Food!)
