CHORIZO AND CHICKEN SKEWERS



Chorizo and Chicken Skewers image

At some point this summer, you'll get tired of grilled chicken. No matter the marinade or the delivery system, you will simply reach your limit, and that's when you need to reach for the chorizo. Impale a few slices of this famously delicious Spanish sausage in between your chunks of chicken. As it grills it will splatter its spicy, smokey fat all over its much blander skewer-mate, and once again you and grilled chicken will be good buddies.

Sticky chicken & chorizo skewers image

Pair the winning combo of chicken and chorizo with a sticky garlic, honey and thyme glaze. Serve on skewers in homemade flatbreads

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 8 (with 16 flatbreads)

Number Of Ingredients 14

100ml olive oil
75ml sherry vinegar
½ small bunch thyme , leaves picked
1½ tbsp smoked paprika
4 garlic cloves , crushed
3 tbsp honey
4-5 chicken breasts (about 650g), cut into bite-sized chunks
200g chorizo ring, sliced into thick coins
250g padron pepper , or 3 green peppers cut into pieces
charred lemon halves or wedges, to serve
1.2kg strong white bread flour , plus extra for dusting
200ml olive oil , plus extra for proving
1 tbsp fine salt
2 x 7g sachets fast-action dried yeast

Steps:

  • Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, thyme, paprika, garlic and 2 tbsp honey with plenty of black pepper. Pour ¾ of the marinade over the chicken and chorizo, reserving the rest to glaze the skewers later. Marinate for at least 2 hrs or overnight. Whisk the leftover 1 tbsp honey into the reserved marinade.
  • To make the flatbreads, mix the flour, olive oil, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Add 700ml water and knead to a rough dough. Tip onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 mins until smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled bowl and cover. Leave to double in size, about 1 hr.
  • Knock the dough back and divide into 16 small balls about 140g each. Roll each out on a floured work surface until a few millimetres thick and about 20cm wide. Heat a dry frying pan on a medium high heat and cook the dough for 3-4 mins until golden underneath and large bubbles start forming. Flip and cook for 1-2 mins more until lightly golden. You can keep the flatbreads warm in a low oven or on the barbecue, wrapped in foil.
  • Thread the chicken, chorizo and peppers onto eight large or 16 small metal skewers. Season with salt. Light a barbecue, let the flames die down and the coals turn ashy white, or heat the grill to medium high. Grill the skewers for 8-10 mins, turning every few mins until the chicken is cooked through. Use the remaining marinade to glaze the meat when turning.
  • With a fork, slide the meat and peppers off the skewers on to the flatbreads. Serve sides separately for guests to assemble their own kebabs.

CHORIZO AND HALLOUMI SKEWERS



Chorizo and Halloumi Skewers image

A yummy-sounding recipe from the current issue of the Australian magazine 'super food ideas'. You'll need 8 pre-soaked wooden bamboo skewers. Feel free to vary the olives in this recipe. I haven't made these yet but I'd be inclined to use unpitted kalamata olives or perhaps half and half unpitted kalamata olives and the suggested pimento-stuffed green olives. I've suggested that these could be served at a picnic, if you were picnicking where there were BBQs. They could be made up to the end of step 1. For serving at a home BBQ, they could of course also be prepared to that stage and BBQd just before you are ready to serve them.

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

460 g chorizo sausages or 14 1/2 ounces chorizo sausages, sliced
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
1/3 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
360 g halloumi cheese or 11 1/2 ounces halloumi cheese, cubed
24 pimento-stuffed green olives
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat a BBQ plate or chargrill to a medium heat; cook chorizo for 1 minute on each side; combine the lemon zest, parsley and garlic in a small bowl and set aside; thread the chorizo, halloumi and olives onto the skewers and brush the skewered ingredients with oil.
  • Cook the skewers, turning them occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the chorizo and halloumi are browned and heated through.
  • Sprinkle the skewered Chorizo and Halloumi with the lemon mixture and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the skewers will be. Look for fresh, flavorful chorizo and halloumi, and use a good quality olive oil.
  • Marinate the skewers: Marinating the skewers in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist while cooking.
  • Skewer the ingredients tightly: This will help to prevent them from falling off the skewers while cooking.
  • Cook the skewers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning and allow them to cook evenly.
  • Serve the skewers immediately: This is when they will be at their best, hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chorizo and halloumi skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or party, and can be easily customized to your own taste.
