If there's one thing that makes us happy, it's seeing families cooking together in the kitchen! This is a great one to get kids involved in … especially threading the chorizo and veggie chunks onto the skewers, which is pretty fun (but pretty messy!).

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Pre-heat your oven to 200°C. Put the skewers in a bowl of water to soak (this stops them burning). Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel!). Pop the wedges on a large baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer. Halve and peel the red onion, then chop each half into 4 - 6 wedges. Separate the onion layers. Chop the sausage into bite-sized chunks, about 2cm.

Make the Skewers
2

Thread the onion pieces and chorizo sausage chunks onto the skewers in the following order: sausage - a couple of onion pieces - sausage pieces and so on. Tip: You are aiming for two skewers per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat. Pop the sausage skewers on a lightly oiled large baking tray. Roast the wedges on the top shelf of your oven until golden and the skewers on the middle shelf until cooked through, 25-30 mins. Turn both halfway through cooking. IMPORTANT: The sausages are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Finish the Prep
3

Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the green beans. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and smoked paprika and cook, stirring for 1 minute, then carefully pour in the passata.

Simmer the Sauce
4

Pour the water (see ingredient list for amount) into the pan and stir in the chicken stock powder. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar, stir together then simmer the sauce until reduced, 3-4 mins. Once cooked, taste and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it, then remove the sauce to a bowl and cover with foil. Wash your pan and pop back on medium high heat, (no oil) and add the almonds.

Fry the Peppers
5

Toast the almonds until golden, 2-3 mins - keep an eye on them! Remove to a bowl and pop your pan back on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the green beans and stir fry until charred and soft, 4-5 mins. Remove to a bowl and add the yellow pepper to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and fry until coloured and soft, 6-8 mins. Only stir every 2 mins. TIP: Only stirring occasionally will help to give your peppers a lovely charred flavour!

Finish and Serve
6

Add the vinegar, sugar and water (see ingredients for sugar and water amounts) to the pan with the peppers, stir together and cook until the liquid has evaporated off, 3-4 mins. Add the green beans back into the pan, stir together and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Pop the beans and pepper in a bowl and top with the toasted almonds. Drizzle some of the bravas sauce over the wedges and spoon over the mayonnaise. Pop the sausage skewers on a plate. Serve everything at the table 'tapas style' and enjoy!
