Bacon and Sausage Kebabs
This makes a nice change to the traditional chipolatas wrapped in bacon, to accompany the christmas turkey. In this recipe I have included some chopped coriander and spices, to accompany the Roast Saffron Turkey but if you are preparing a more traditional roast simply leave these out and add some sage or chopped parsley instead.
Portions: 12 Portions
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes under the grill of 40 minutes in the oven with the turkey
Ingredients
Bacon and Sausage Kebabs
- 600g good quality sausage meat
- 1 large garlic clove, crushed

- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- zest 1/4 lemon
- pinch paprika
- maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 rashers of rindless streaky bacon
You will need
- 12 skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Method
- Koftas: Place the sausage meat in a bowl with the garlic, coriander, cumin, ginger, lemon zest, paprika and a little seasoning, and mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 12 sausage shaped rolls, place on the skewers, wrap in the bacon and lay out on a lightly oiled tray. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook (koftas can be prepared a day in advance).
