SUCCULENT ‘TATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
PREP STEP
Place the skewers in a shallow dish, cover with water, and allow to soak for 10 minutes – this prevents them from burning when over the heat. Separate the layers of the onion wedges into petals.
A-MAIZE-ING!
Place a pan or a griddle pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the drained corn for 3-4 minutes until charred, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat. Place in a bowl with the chopped pickled peppers and ¾ of the chopped parsley.
CHAR THE LEAVES
Halve the lettuce head lengthways, keeping the stem intact. Gently rinse and pat dry. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, char the lettuce halves cut-side down for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.
ASSEMBLE THE SKEWERS...
Thread 2-3 beef chunks, 2-3 onion petals, and a whole baby tomato onto a skewer, making sure they are secure. Repeat in the same order, filling up each stick until all the skewers are full. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil (See Chef’s Tip for Braai Option!). When hot, fry the beef skewers for 2-3 minutes turning as they colour until the meat is cooked and the veggies are charred. In the final minute, baste the skewers with the BBQ sauce and some seasoning.
TIME TO DINE
Plate up the colourful beef skewers and pour over the pan juices. Serve with the sweet potato wedges and the charred gem lettuce. Finish off with a scatter of the charred corn and peppers, and garnish with the remaining parsley. Yum!
