Parmesan and poppy seed biscuits with a chorizo and red wine chutney Recipe

  • 1 stalk rosemary, leaves removed and chopped finely
  • 280g/10oz plain flour
  • 60g/2¼oz Parmesan, grated
  • 210g/7½oz unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ tsp salt
  • black pepper
  • 3 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 250g/9oz cooking chorizo, diced
  • 1 red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 1½ tbsp tomato purée
  • 100ml/3½fl oz apple juice
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • pinch herbes de Provence
  • 5 tbsp red wine
  • 2½ tbsp dark brown sugar
  • ½ tsp balsamic vinegar
  1. For the Parmesan and poppy seed biscuits, using your hands, lightly work all the ingredients together (except the poppy seeds) into a dough. You can also pulse all the ingredients together in a food processor. Shape the dough into a log about 3cm/1¼in diameter.
  2. Gently spread out the poppy seeds on a chopping board and roll the dough log in the poppy seeds.Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
  4. Remove the dough from the fridge and slice into rounds the thickness of a pound coin. Press the edges gently with your fingers to create a dome in the middle.
  5. Lay the biscuits onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and leave in the fridge to chill for a further 20 minutes minimum. You may need two trays to fit all the biscuits.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Leave to cool.
  7. For the chorizo and red wine chutney, bring all the ingredient to a simmer over a medium heat. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the chutney is a thick but spreadable consistency.
  8. To serve, place the biscuits on a serving board and the chutney in a serving bowl on the side.
