Ingredients
Scale
Skewers
- 500g baby new potatoes
- 3 Romano or red peppers, cut into chunks
- 250g cooking chorizo, cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 rosemary sprigs, leaves picked and roughly chopped
Garlic Mayo
- 70g mayonnaise
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- ½ lemon, juiced
- small pinch of smoked paprika (optional)
Garnish & Serving
- few sprigs of parsley, leaves picked (optional)
- salad, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil and add the baby new potatoes. Cook for 12 minutes or until a skewer can easily penetrate them, then drain and leave to steam-dry.
- Prepare Skewer Mix: In a large bowl, toss the cooked potatoes with cut peppers, chorizo chunks, olive oil, and chopped rosemary until everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the potatoes, peppers, and chorizo alternately onto six to eight large metal skewers to create colorful and balanced skewers.
- Grill Skewers: Heat a barbecue grill or indoor grill pan. Cook the skewers on the barbecue for 10-15 minutes or on the grill for 5-6 minutes per side, until the outside is lightly charred and cooked through.
- Make Garlic Mayo: While skewers are grilling, mix together mayonnaise, finely grated garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika for added flavor and color.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill, sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and serve hot with the garlic mayo on the side alongside a fresh salad if desired.
Notes
- Use metal skewers for better heat conduction; if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Boiling the potatoes beforehand ensures they cook evenly and stay tender inside.
- The smoked paprika in the mayo can be omitted or adjusted to your spice preference.
- These skewers are perfect for outdoor barbecues but can also be cooked under a grill pan indoors.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp outside and tender inside textures.
