2tbsp vegetable oil

60g green kale

Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Juice of half a lemon

4 slices chorizo

1tbsp red wine vinegar

1tbsp whole blanched almonds, toasted

Heat a frying pan on a high heat until nearly smoking hot. Add the vegetable oil and heat. Quickly fry the kale in small batches until crispy. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Season with plenty of sea salt, cracked black pepper and lemon juice. Cook the chorizo in the frying pan on a medium heat until crispy.

Deglaze the pan with the red wine vinegar and stir the cooking liquid vigorously with a spoon to make a glaze.

To serve, drizzle the glaze over the burnt kale and chorizo and then scatter over the toasted almonds.
