Ingredients

200g raw prawns
100g sliced chorizo, chopped

Small bowl cherry tomatoes
Shaved Fennel
200g fine beans, cooked in boiling water for 3 minutes then drained
2 large potatoes, cut into cubes and tossed in olive oil
2 tbsp chopped herbs, any will do, I used sage and marjoram

Sprinkle the herbs over the potato cubes and cook in a pre-heated oven at 180C / gas 4 until they are tender and golden brown, this should take around 30-35 minutes.

For the dressing

4 tbsp good quality olive oil
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp whole grain mustard

Stir the dressing ingredients together and set aside.

Heat a large saute pan and add the bacon lardons, cook for a couple of minutes, then put in the chorizo and prawns and stir fry for 2 minutes until the prawns are pink.

Add the cherry tomatoes and shaved fennel and cook for 1 minute.  Remove the pan from the heat.

Add the warm green beans and the dressing.  Sprinkle the hot potato cubes over the top and serve with crusty bread.
