BBQ Hot New Potato Skewers with Mint, Coriander & Coconut

NOTHING can be more delicious than new potatoes in summer, a little bit of butter and rock salt is as perfect as food can be.

If you want something a little different, this recipe could be right up your street. Cook the potatoes until firm, soak a wooden skewer in water for at least 20 minutes and place on a hot BBQ with a little olive oil.

The coconut dressing is one I have used often and has many uses – try it with chicken strips – it is also brilliant with pork.

BBQ Hot New Potato Skewers with Mint, Coriander & Coconut


Ingredients (makes 6)


18 freshly cooked potatoes placed onto skewers

2 tbsp of hot water

1 green chilli de-seeded

4 cloves of garlic peeled

2cm piece of ginger scraped

80g creamed coconut

Good handful of fresh coriander

10 leaves of mint

Finely grated rind of 1 lime

Juice of 3 limes

Pinch of Sea Salt

Olive oil

Wooden skewers soaked in water


Method


1. In a food processor place the water, chilli, garlic and ginger, add the creamed coconut and blitz well before scraping down and repeating for about a further 30 seconds.

2. Add the herbs and rind; chop well again before scraping down and seasoning with sea salt and mix for a further half a minute.


Note: It may be necessary to warm slightly for 10 seconds in a microwave before serving if the mix becomes cold. The dip can be stored in the fridge and kept well in advance.


To serve: Skewer three hot new potatoes onto the soaked skewers and drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt and BBQ on both sides until golden. Serve on a large plate and spoon over the warmed mint, coriander and coconut dressing.
