to make slimming world bbq: turkey chimichurri skewers, you’ll need:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced finely
- a big handful of parsley and a big handful of coriander
Listen, it’s always better to use fresh herbs. Buy a plant from the supermarket, stick it in water on your windowsill and it’ll grow all summer. But if you’re pushed for time, use dried
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 3 tablespoons of water
- a pack of diced turkey
- pinch of salt
- pinch of pepper
Normally proper chimichurri is made with oil – so if you want to be a decadent bitch, get rid of the water and use four tablespoons of oil (24 syns) – this makes enough for eight skewers so that’s still only 6 syns per serving, assuming you have two skewers. If you use the above recipe, it’ll be 1.5 syns for two skewers.
to make slimming world bbq: turkey chimichurri skewers, you should:
- dice the turkey or chicken if not already done
- blend in a food processor all the other ingredients – taste with your fingers – you want to get it to a runny paste with some herbs left intact, not a perfectly blended mush
- tip the turkey/chicken into a food bag and top with the chimichurri – really moosh it in with your fingers to get it pushed into the meat
- leave for as long as you see fit, but, just like a lot of things, the longer the better
- actually, that’s a lie, girth is more important, apologies if you’re a guy with a knob like one of those novelty giant pencils you buy in Scottish gift shops, but it’s true
- when you’re ready to cook and the BBQ is up to temperature, thread the meat onto soaked wooden skewers or, better, metal skewers, together with whatever vegetables you have lying around in the house and place onto the grill
- turn these a couple of times and for god’s sake, like everything else, make sure it’s all cooked before you eat it
You can also see in the picture there the hickory BBQ steaks and the drumsticks from our Musclefood deal. Just saying. They were delicious.
OK, now the potato salad. This was genuinely amazing, and well worth making! You can gussy it up however you want. This makes enough for four, though it was all Paul could do to stop me mashing my face into the bowl and eating the lot.
