Steps:

SPANISH SKEWERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Half-fill a large pan with water and bring to the boil. Add the potatoes and return to the boil. Cook for 1 min, then drain in a colander and tip into a bowl. Pour over the olive oil, sprinkle with the rosemary and season. Toss together.
• Scatter the potatoes over a large baking tray and cook for 5 mins. Turn the potatoes, add the peppers and cook for a further 10 mins or until just beginning to soften. Set aside to cool.
• Thread a chunk of yellow pepper, a chunk of potato and a chunk of red pepper onto bamboo skewers, finishing with a piece of chorizo. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray, cover and chill (up to 8 hrs). To make the dip, mix all the ingredients in a bowl, cover and chill.
• When ready to serve, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the skewers for 10 mins or until the vegetables are softened and nicely browned, and the chorizo slices are cooked through. Serve with the dip.

PINCHOS (SPANISH KEBABS/TAPAS - PORK, LAMB, PRAWNS OR CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Place the onion, garlic, sweet and hot paprikas, 2 tsp of the salt, the oregano, peppercorns, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, bay leaf, vinegar, wine (if using) and olive oil in a mini food processor and process to a paste.
• Place the pork in a bowl and rub a little salt on it. Scrape the marinade into the bowl with the meat and toss to combine thoroughly.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pork for 4-6 hours, tossing a few times. Let the meat come to room temperature before grilling.
• Light the grill and preheat it to medium-high or preheat a large ridged grill pan to medium-high over medium heat.
• When ready to cook, thread the meat onto the skewers and brush it with a little olive oil.
• Cook the meat, brushing with olive oil and turning once, until it is just cooked through, 5-7 minutes. (If you are cooking lamb and would like it medium-rare, don't cook it quite so long). Serve the kebabs at once.

PERFECT EASY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1-1/2" to 2" cubes. Cut each cube almost in half (it will look like an open book) This lets the marinade get inside to flavor the beef further.
• Combine the remaining ingredients, except onion, in a medium bowl. Add the beef cubes, and thoroughly combine. Make sure that the marinade gets into the cuts in the cubes. (I use my hands). Cover, and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 1-6 hours.
• Preheat and clean your barbeque. Skewer the beef, closing the slit you cut earlier in each piece. (If you think of the cube as looking like a book, the skewer is piercing the front and back covers) Alternate with onion pieces (if using). Grill over indirect heat until done to your preference. Serve.
