• 100g Greek yoghurt
• 1 tsp curry powder

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · chopping board · knife

2. Halve the apricots, remove the stones and cut the onion into large pieces.
3. Thread the meat, apricots and onion alternately onto long wooden skewers.
4. Fry the skewers in a hot frying pan for a good 10 min, turning them, until the meat is cooked through.
5. Stir the curry powder into the yoghurt and serve the dip with the skewers.

Good to know

Fruity meets savoury. Frying the apricots caramelises their natural fruit sugars and gives the chicken a whole new flavour.

Swaps

Apricots → peaches (if there are no fresh apricots, firm peaches that aren't too soft work just as well on the skewers).

Cooking tips

Soak the wooden skewers in water for ten minutes beforehand so they don't blacken or burn in the hot pan.

Storage

Once cooked, the skewers keep well in the fridge for two days and taste great cold as a quick snack.

Allergens

Contains milk (in the dip). Completely gluten-free.
