Start by making the mayo. Add all of the ingredients except the oils into a food processor or hand blender pot. Give it blitz and have a quick taste to check seasoning. Mix the 2 oils into a jug. With the blade running  add all of the oil in a slow stream, blitzing all the time, it should take about 5 minutes for the mayo to thicken, once made cover and place in fridge.

Next cook the chorizo and capers, heat a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for a minute on each side until they just start to release their oils. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside. For the capers add the groundnut oil to a small saucepan until smoking. Tilt the pan on the flame so it makes the oil deeper. Add the caper berries (careful as they may spit) Cook for 2-3 mins until they stop bubbling and they turn golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside.
