– To start making their amazing flavoursome sauce, chop and mince your garlic cloves. Whilst you’re making your sauce you can heat up your BBQ or your grill.
– Chop a handful of parsley finely next and then your red chilli.
– Add the chilli, garlic and parsley into a small bowl.
– Next up, add your olive oil and red wine vinegar.
– Season with sea salt and pepper and then stir to combine. If you have a hand blender or a pestle and mortar, use this to make the chimichurri sauce less chunky or until it’s as chunky or as smooth as you’d like it to be.
– Take the sausages and skewer them, using two skewers on each end of the sausage. Put a whole pack down on a board then skewer them one sausage at a time, one side at a time. These are a great BBQ sharer as you can do one pack in one go!
– Lay your sausage skewers on the BBQ and let them cook until browned on one side before flipping over. Allow the next side to cook until they’re fully cooked.
– Flip the sausage BBQ skewers & top with your grated cheese and the chimichurri sauce. Allow it to stay on the BBQ until it’s melted and gooey.
