Ingredients

2 cured chorizo sausages, sliced

2 cup self-raising flour

3/4 cup skim milk

8 slices cheddar

1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 large tomato, cut into 8 slices

2 tablespoon cumin seeds

2 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil

60 gram margarine

mixed salad, to serve

lemon wedges, to serve

Method

1.Heat a frying pan over moderately high heat. Cook and turn chorizo for 1 minute each side or until browned. Drain on paper towels.

2.Combine flour and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Make a well at centre; add milk. Using a round-bladed knife, mix to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth. Shape dough into a ball. Divide dough into 4 equal portions.

3.For each calzone, roll out 1 portion of dough between two sheets of baking paper to make a 20cm round. Place 2 slices cheese, a quarter of the chorizo, a quarter of the parsley and 2 slices tomato over one half of the dough. Fold over dough to enclose filling and form a semicircle. Press edge to seal. Sprinkle with cumin seeds. Repeat to make 4 calzones.

4.Heat half the oil and half the margarine in a small frying pan over moderately low heat. Cook calzones, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until golden and cooked. Reheat remaining oil and margarine between batches. Drain calzones on paper towels.

5.Cut in half. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.

Make extra and take for lunch the next day. Low fat: Use lean sausages instead of chorizo. For extra flavour, add a pinch of ground cumin to the dough.
