Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chorizo sausage — Look for high-quality chorizo with a good balance of spices. If you prefer a milder flavor, choose sweet chorizo instead of spicy.
- Bell peppers — Use a mix of red and green bell peppers for a vibrant color contrast in the dish.
- Smoked paprika — Opt for Spanish smoked paprika (pimentón) to enhance the authentic Spanish taste.
Tips & Tricks
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the Spanish-style Ćevapi with warm crusty bread or as part of a tapas spread.
- If you don't have a grill or barbecue, you can also cook the skewers in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes.
Serving advice
Serve the sizzling Spanish-style Ćevapi hot off the grill, accompanied by a refreshing tomato and pepper salsa. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
Presentation advice
Arrange the skewers on a platter, allowing the vibrant colors of the chorizo and grilled vegetables to shine through. Serve with the salsa on the side for dipping or drizzle it over the skewers for an added burst of flavor.
