The name of this dish sounds complicated, but really it’s very quick and easy and shows off wonderfully the taste of nasturtium pesto. Thanks Joanne for growing them onto our patio!

And it’s so easy! Ingredients: 1 small aubergine, cut into circles 120 chopped spicy chorizo (I buy it already in slices) 200 g
