METHOD

Chicken Skewers (red)

  • Add a sprinkle of black pepper to the tomatoes and berries.
  • Combine the chopped herbs, Hinds Mixed Herbs, olive oil, crushed garlic and cashew nuts to make the pesto.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Coat the dry wors in the oil and sprinkle with Hinds Steak & Chops Spice. Warm in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • To prepare the salt and vinegar crackers, add blue food colouring to 60 ml of water. Using a pastry brush, coat each cracker on both sides and arrange on a baking tray. Bake the crackers in the oven for 10 minutes or until they dry out. Once the crackers have been baked in the oven, sprinkle the crackers with Hinds Salt & Vinegar Seasoning to serve.
  • Draw an outline of the South African Flag on a sheet of baking paper, place the baking paper on a wooden cheeseboard and arrange all the elements by colour to represent the South African food flag.

Chef’s Tip

  • Use any combination of vegetables you have available. You can use chopped coriander, chopped parsley, chopped mint or chopped basil in the pesto.
