INGREDIENTS
For the potatoes
500 g ( 1 pound and 2 oz ) small salad or new potatoes
25 g ( 1 oz ) sea salt
1 litre ( 1 and 1/3 pints ) water
For the Mojo Picon
6 tablespoons groundnut oil, or similar neutral tasting oil
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons white wine or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
For the Mojo Verde
6 tablespoons groundnut oil, or similar neutral tasting oil
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons white wine or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
50 g ( 2 oz ) fresh coriander
METHOD
To prepare the potatoes.
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
Put the potatoes into a pan with the salt and water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain off any excess water.
Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the skins have started to wrinkle and the potatoes get a good white shimmer from the salty water the were cooked in.
Now make the sauces
To make the sauces, just place all of the ingredients into a processor and process until a sauce has formed. Do this for the Picon and the Verde.
Serve the 2 sauces along side the potatoes and spoon over some of the sauce or dip them into the sauce before eating.
