Warren Elwin's skewers are a party on a stick. Soak wooden skewers in water for a while before using to prevent them burning on the barbecue. Makes 12-18 skewers.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp Sweet chilli sauce, use the Culley's variety
1 Tbsp Plum sauce
1 Tbsp Chilli sauce, use mild green chilli sauce
½ Grapefruit, or lemon, freshly zested and juiced
2 dozen Mussels, use up to 3 dozen
24 pieces Pancetta, or bacon, use up to 36 pieces (1 piece per mussel)

Directions

  1. For the marinade, mix together Culley’s sweet chilli sauce, plum sauce, mild green chilli sauce, grapefruit or lemon juice, and some salt and pepper.
  2. To marinate, steam mussels until they open and are just- cooked. Remove mussels from shells, toss through the marinade and leave for an hour or three to marinate.
  3. Wrap each mussel in pancetta or bacon and skewer them (2-3 per skewer). Cook over a hot barbecue until coloured and firm.
