Your Easter feast is coming together nicely, isn’t it? However, you’re looking for that first snack. The one everybody gets at the door or sees first. The great thing about putting food on skewers is that you don’t even need a plate. You can also grab one with one hand if you’re also holding a festive cocktail. These Chorizo & Mushrooms Skewers will get everybody smiling as they arrive.
Chorizo is a fermented, cured and smoked Portuguese or Spanish pork sausage. You can often eat it raw or it adds stacks of flavour to other dishes. Chorizo is spicy, tangy and just delicious. Adding some colour to it on the stove or even open fire before adding them to the skewers might just be the best thing in the world. Soft peppers, crispy sausage and mushrooms make these Chorizo & Mushroom Skewers unbeatable when it comes to a snack or starter.
Have a fantastic feast this Easter and let us know what you think of our recipe.
