Background
Boiled new potatoes go really well with barbecues and grilled meat/fish. This version with watercress pistou is very refreshing and zingy, perfect with lamb or fish. You can add some grated cheese to the pistou, if you like - I didn't.
Ingredients
- 500g new potatoes (Jersey)
- 75g watercress
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- zest and juice ½ lemon
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbs grated Gruyere or other cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and rub the potatoes clean, then put them in a pan of lightly salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until tender. Drain, and cut them in half if they're too big.
- Meanwhile, put the rest of the ingredients into a mini food processor and blitz until you get a coarse paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper - adjust the lemon, oil & cheese to your liking.
- When the potatoes are drained, put them in a serving dish and pour over the pistou immediately.
- You can serve it warm or at room temperature.
