Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Mix rock salt, paprika, and egg whites to create a salt crust.
  • Cover potatoes in the salt mixture and bake in an ovenproof dish for 40 minutes.
  • Gently fry diced chorizo in a pan over low heat.
  • Add 300ml oil and cook slowly for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the oil through a sieve and reserve both the chorizo meat and the oil.
  • Whisk egg yolks and vinegar, then slowly drizzle in the chorizo oil to emulsify.
  • Thinly slice vegetables on a mandolin and soak in ice water.
  • Combine 300ml oil, Chardonnay vinegar, thyme, and garlic to make a vinaigrette.
  • Drain vegetables and toss them in the prepared vinaigrette.
  • Spoon mayonnaise onto plates and arrange dressed vegetables and watercress on top.
  • Smash the salt crust to release the potatoes and serve immediately.
