Steps

  • Crush garlic to a paste with sea salt and add to the chicken pieces in a bowl.
  • Add lemon juice, pepper, and olive oil to the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to hot and remove seeds and ribs from the red peppers.
  • Grill pepper quarters skin-side up for 10-12 minutes until blackened.
  • Steam peppers in a sealed bag, then peel and discard the skins once cooled.
  • Toast hazelnuts in a 200°C oven for five minutes.
  • Rub skins off toasted nuts and repeat the process for almonds.
  • Fry bread in 30ml of olive oil with sliced garlic until golden-brown.
  • Add nuts, peppers, raw garlic, paprika, and cayenne to a food processor.
  • Add fried bread, fried garlic, and red wine vinegar to the processor.
  • Process into a paste while gradually adding 60ml of water and remaining oil.
  • Preheat the grill and cut spring onions into 3cm lengths.
  • Thread chicken and spring onions onto skewers and grill for 12 minutes.
  • Serve chicken skewers immediately with the romesco sauce.
