If you like one-pot recipes then you’ll love Donna Hay’s (@donna.hay) cookbook ‘One Pan Perfect’. I flagged almost all of the recipes in the book to make ‘soon’, haha it will take months to make them all. Anyway, back to the dish. It really is super easy, everything is coated in honey, smoked paprika, olive oil, pepper and salt and then roasted for 35 minutes, adding the chorizo sausage for the last 15 minutes to crisp up. I used dry chorizo as I couldn’t find the fresh ones on a Sunday, but it worked great!
The kale is then massaged for 2 minutes with the the same marinade but also some sherry vinegar added. Massaging the raw kale softens the leaves but keeps the fresh green flavour. Such a great combo! A smokey, salty, sweet and tangy dish topped off with creamy goats cheese, yeah baby!
If you’d like to keep it vegetarian or vegan, then you can replace the chorizo with a vegetarian sausage and the feta with a dairy free option. The heroes of this dish are the roasted pumpkin coated in smoked paprika and honey and the yummy massaged kale!
