Herb Chicken Skewers

Ingredients:

• 500g minced chicken
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• Skewers

Method:

1. Light up the grill and then soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning (alternatively, why not try our reusable stainless steel skewers and you can skip this step!)
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and beaten egg. Mix well to combine.
3. Divide the mixture into equal portions and form them into long, thin sausage-like shapes around each skewer.
4. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
5. Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Jalapeno Poppers 

Ingredients:

• 10 Jalapenos
• 250 grams cream cheese
• Half an onion finely diced
• Handful of chives
• 250 grams of streaky bacon for wrapping

Method:

1. Finely dice the onion and gently fry with a splash of oil.
2. While the onion is frying, halve and de-seed the jalapenos.
3. Take the onion off the heat once browned and allow to cool for a few minutes.
4. Mix the onion, finely chopped chives & cream cheese in a bowl. Now it’s time to stuff those jalapenos!
5. Smear the cream cheese mixture into both halves of each jalapeno then place both halves back together. Wrap the stuffed jalapeno with a strip of streaky bacon and carefully slide onto a long metal skewer. Continue this process until you have used all the jalapenos.
6. Place the skewers onto a hot grill and let it sizzle away for around 5 minutes on each side. Garnish with some fresh lime and coriander and tuck in.
