Baby Potato & Bacon Skewers


Description

These potato and bacon skewers are great if you're looking for something for the barbecue. The fat from the bacon melts over the potatoes as everything crisps and chars, creating a delightful flavour combination at the same time, that's livened up by a little lime juice.

Ingredients

12 new baby potatoes
12 smoked streaky bacon slices
12 cherry tomatoes
3 red onions, cut into quarters
Thyme, leaves picked and chopped
2 limes
Chilli sauce, to taste
Virgin olive oil
Sea salt

Directions

1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15 min and drain. The potatoes should still be a little firm and raw in the middle.

2. Wrap a slice of streaky bacon around each potato.

3. Thread a bacon-wrapped potato onto a skewer followed by a cherry tomato and a piece of red onion. Repeat until the skewer is full, finishing with a potato, then do the same with the three remaining skewers.

4. Mix the juice of 1 lime with a little chopped thyme, chilli sauce and olive oil to make a loose dressing. Taste and season with salt.

5. Using a pastry brush, brush the dressing all over the potatoes and vegetables.

6. Cook the skewers under a preheated grill or on a hot barbecue until the potatoes are cooked, the bacon is crisp and the other vegetables are nicely charred.

7. Serve with a little chilli sauce and wedges of lime on the side.

Enjoy!
