Beef Skewers with Roasted Capsicum and Almond Salsa

Salsa: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until they form a chunky salsa. Set aside.

Heat a ridged grill or sauté pan over a medium-high heat. Thread the beef onto the skewers, brush with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

To serve: Place on a board or platter and brush with some of the salsa, serving the rest separately. 

Serving suggestions: Combine 2 cups finely shredded red or white cabbage, 1 green apple cut into long matchsticks and chopped parsley in a bowl. Drizzle over a little olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss and serve.

Wedges of orange kumara are also a delicious accompaniment. Brush skin-on wedges of kumara with a little oil, salt and pepper. Roast until golden and tender.

Cook's tip: Roasted capsicums are available in jars at food stores and supermarkets. Looked for piquillo peppers, if available, as these are smoked as well as being roasted.
