Warm marinaded salad of Jersey Royals

 

You will need –

3 lb Jersey Royal New Potatoes 

1 Bulb of Fennel

1 Medium size red onion

12 Cherry tomatoes

Small bunch of dill

Olive oil

1 Clove of garlic

Salt and pepper

 

Method

·         Cook the royals and allow to cool

·         Slice the Jersey Royals and layer in an earthenware dish

·         Thinly slice the fennel, red onion, garlic and halve the tomatoes adding to the royals

·         Add approximately ¼ ltr olive oil to the earthenware dish

·         Season with salt and pepper

·         Add the dill

 

·         The secret to this dish is in the intensity of the flavours

 

·         Cling film the dish and put in a warm place which enables the flavours to infuse and become concentrated for approximately 2hrs (when making this dish at home we put it in the airing cupboard)

 

·         This dish is great just on its own but even better when used as a base for some simply cooked fish like seabass or black bream
