Gourmet skewers with Cantabrian preserves

Preserves allow us to create dishes or skewers easily and quickly. In this post we are going to give you some ideas of gourmet skewers that you can make with different preserves.

All the skewers we propose can be mounted on any firm bread of your choice, toasted sliced bread, baguette bread or muffins cut in the middle, biscottes, tartlets… You can also use crackers as you can see in some pictures or crackers.

Sardines skewer with avocado

Ingredients:

• 1 can of sardines in oil
• 1 avocado
• A few drops of lemon
• Salt and pepper

Open a can of sardines and reserve the oil. Mash the avocado with a fork and add salt, pepper, a little of the oil from the can and a few drops of lemon juice.

Assemble the skewer by placing the mackerel loins on the avocado base and decorating with cilantro, red onion or chopped chives.

Tuna skewer with cucumber

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cucumbers
• 1-2 cans of tuna in oil, drained
• 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• Roasted red peppers

Peel the cucumbers with a peeler. Cut them into slices about 2 cm thick and remove the seeds with the ball remover without going all the way to the bottom. Chop the cucumber pieces that we have removed and mix them little by little with the crumbled tuna, add some red bell pepper and mayonnaise. Mix well.

Once the filling is finished, we only have to insert it into the cut cucumber slices. We can decorate the skewer with a small piece of bell pepper or aromatic herbs.

Mussel Gildas – “de Dani García”.

Ingredients:

• A can of pickled mussels,
• A jar of peppers
• Pitted manzanilla olives.

This appetizer can be prepared even by the youngest members of the family. It is enough to have large chopsticks, to thread, alternately, the pickled mussels, the piparra and the olive. García presents the skewer well covered with the pickled oil from the can of mussels. Impossible to fail.
