Spanish-Style Wontons (Chorizo Dumplings)
These are my Spanish-style wontons (chorizo dumplings). They're filled with chorizo, feta, and red peppers, placed on a bed of smokey tomato sauce, and are absolutely delicious.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
For The Dumplings
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- ½ red pepper, finely chopped
- 200g chorizo sausage, mashed
- 150g feta cheese, mashed
- 16 wonton wrappers
For The Sauce
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tin tomatoes (400g)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
For Garnish
- Parsley, chopped
- Grated parmesan
Instructions
- Begin by slicing your onion, garlic, and red pepper into tiny pieces. Add them to a bowl with your chorizo sausage and feta cheese. Give everything a good mix until you have a thick paste.
- Lay your wonton store-bought wrapper on a clean surface with one of the corner points facing you and place a teaspoon of the filling into the centre of the square wrapper.
- Fold the dumpling in half away from you into a triangle and squeeze down the sides (you might need to brush with a bit of water so they stick).
- Then pinch the two opposing corners and cross them together to form what looks like a little person sitting cross-legged.
- Repeat this step for all the wontons.
- Place your wontons in a pan of simmering water on medium heat and cook for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add some oil to a pan, place it on medium heat, and add in the rest of your red onion and garlic. Fry for 5 minutes and then add in your chopped tomatoes. Give everything a good stir.
- Sprinkle in your paprika, sugar, salt, and pepper. Leave to simmer until your dumplings are cooked. Make sure you season to taste.
- Strain your dumplings.
- Place a ladle of your tomato sauce onto your plate. Top with your dumplings, some chopped parsley, and grated parmesan!
