Step 1
To roast the cherry tomatoes, place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with non-stick parchment. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season. Roast at 150°CGas 2 for 1½-2hrs until wrinkled and sticky but still moist. You need to do this in advance unless you have two ovens. Cook the potatoes in salted water until just tender - about 6-10 minutes depending on size. Drain and allow to steam dry. Heat the olive and sunflower oils in a deep roasting tray in a hot oven (220°C/Gas 7) for 5 minutes, then add the potatoes. Roast for 20-30 mins (depending on size) until golden. -
Step 2
While the potatoes are cooking, fry the chorizo in 1 teaspoon olive oil, turning the pieces to ensure even cooking, until nicely coloured. Arrange the salad leaves on a large platter. Mix the cooked potato and chorizo with a few drops of vinegar and a little salt if needed, and heap on top of the salad leaves. Scatter the tomatoes over the top and add another sprinkle of vinegar and a drizzle of fresh olive oil. Finish with the parsley and serve warm.
