Owton’s Mixed Grill Skewers with Smoky Pepper Dip & Grilled Veg

Reasons Why People Love Our Mixed Grill

✅ Grill-friendly format: Skewers make outdoor cooking fun and social. They’re a BBQ favourite.

✅ Variety of textures & flavours: The mix of sausages, steak cuts, and gammon provides a dynamic taste experience with every bite.

✅ Fresh, vibrant presentation: Grilled veg and lemon create bright, eye-catching contrast and enhanced depth of flavour.

Cooking Instructions

1. Prep the Skewers

• Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
• Thread chunks of sausage, rump, pork, gammon, peppers, and onion onto skewers, alternating protein and veggies for balanced grilling. Add sprigs of rosemary or thyme between pieces for extra aroma, if desired.

2. Season & Grill

• Brush built skewers lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and beautifully charred; sausages should be done, and steak pieces at your preferred doneness—medium-rare to medium works well for rump.

3. Make the Smoky Pepper Dip

• While the skewers grill, blend roasted red pepper, yogurt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lemon juice, and seasoning until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste—add more paprika for smokiness or lemon juice for brightness.

4. Serve It Up

• Transfer skewers to a platter. Serve alongside grilled lemon wedges, crusty bread or flatbreads, fresh salad or slaw, and the smoky pepper dip for dunking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook the skewers without a barbecue or grill?

Yes! While grilling adds smoky flavour, you can also cook the skewers under a hot oven grill (broiler) or on a griddle pan over the hob. Just make sure to turn them regularly for even cooking and char.

What’s the best way to tell when the meat is cooked through?

Check for firm texture and visible juices:

• Sausages should be golden and cooked all the way through with no pink centre.
• Pork and gammon should be opaque and slightly browned.
• Rump steak can be cooked to your preference; for medium, aim for around 3–4 mins per side, depending on thickness.

Can I prepare the skewers in advance?

Absolutely. You can marinate and thread the meat and vegetables onto skewers a few hours ahead, then refrigerate them covered. Just bring them to room temperature for 15–20 minutes before grilling for best results.

What other dips or sauces pair well with these skewers?

If you want to mix it up, try:

• Chimichurri (great with steak)
• Honey mustard (pairs well with gammon)
• Spicy sriracha mayo
• Garlic & herb yogurt sauce
  All add something different, depending on your crowd!

Are these skewers suitable for freezing?

The raw meat (before being skewered) can be frozen if stored separately and properly wrapped. Once cooked, the skewers can be frozen and reheated, but for the best texture and juiciness, fresh grilling is recommended.
