Turkey Skewers with Peach & Pimientos de Padron
August 31st, 2018 | main dishes
Grill skewers with little meat, but with lots of vegetables and flavor! Here, the little Spanish peppers play the first violin. The sweetness of the peach softens the pepper sharpness a little bit. The aroma of the bay leaves gives these midsummer BBQ skewers the ultimate kick. Simply delicious.
Pimientos de Padrón are small green peppers grown in Galicia/Spain. The small, sharp vitamin bombs grow in the vicinity of the small village Padrón. They are cooked and eaten as a whole. You can simply fry them as an appetizer in olive oil and serve sprinkled with coarse sea salt. Or place them effectively on grill skewers…

Cicchetti with chanterelles – almost like in Venice
When I think of Venice and Cicchetti I start daydreaming. Normally my dearest captain would be on the Adriatic Sea at this time of year, I would certainly be with him on board and we would have made some nice Cicchetti tours through the beautiful lagoon city. Would. Would have. Subjunctive. Nothing is normal in these Corona times. The ships are not sailing, they have been on anchorage for months. Well, if we can’t go to Venice, we’ll do the cicchetti at home.
