Instructions

These skewers are loaded with classic antipasti favourites, olives, pickled peppers and mortadella. Once they hit the barbecue, the magic happens: the heat caramelises the edges, crisps the mortadella, and gently warms the olives and pepperoncini. The result is a salty, smoky, savoury party starter, lifted with a punchy vinaigrette that keeps you coming back for more.

  • Prepare the barbecue for cooking using direct medium-high heat (230°C-260°C) and preheat as directed. See below for information on premium gas barbecue set up methods.

    If using a 17” Weber Slate Griddle, prepare it for cooking using direct high heat (250°C-290°C) and preheat as directed. If using a 30” or 36” Weber Slate Griddle, prepare it for cooking using direct medium-high heat (210°C-250°C) and preheat as directed.
  • Slice the mortadella into 2 cm-thick slices. To thread the skewers, concertina-fold a strip of mortadella and thread it onto a skewer. Add an olive, wrap an anchovy around a pepperoncini pepper, and add it to the skewer. Continue threading and alternating ingredients as desired.
  • To make the parsley vinegarette, mix all the ingredients in a small bowl, taste, and adjust as needed.
  • Once the barbecue has preheated, brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Adjust the settings for direct medium-high heat. Grill the skewers, with the lid closed, for 1½ minutes, flip, and cook for a final 1½ minutes, or until the edges of the mortadella are crispy and the olives and pepperoncini have turned juicy. Remove from the barbecue and place immediately onto a serving platter.
