A small version of these skewers would make an easy canape and the paprika oil can be used to flavour lamb and seafood.

Ingredients

8 wooden bamboo skewers
1 tbsp smoked paprika
4 garlic cloves, squashed
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
6 chicken thighs, skin off, boned, cut into cubes
8 slices sourdough bread
300g hummus

Method

Soak skewers in water. Preheat a grill or barbecue.
Mix paprika, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil in a bowl. Skewer chicken pieces. Brush with paprika mix and grill until cooked through. They can also be pan-fried.
Brush bread lightly with oil from the paprika mix and grill on both sides. Cut in half and serve with the chicken and hummus. A salad of rocket leaves makes a excellent side for this meal.
