Festive Fall Food:: Chorizo Skewers

Hey Everyone! It's Nicole, Annette's web manager and friend, and I'm here sharing another inspiring recipe from Annette. This time of year seems to be filled with fall fetes. It is football season in the South afterall! I'm always on the hunt for quick, easy and most of all, delicious recipes to take to parties. Of course, I turned to Annette for inspiration and found this recipe for chorizo skewers.I love the idea of making elevated tailgate food like this, especially since my days of outside tailgating are over. I prefer to watch games from the comfort of my couch with a fine wine versus a cheap beer, thank you very much!What's more simple (and transportable!) than a tasty skewer? Annette recommends using top-notch ingredients for this one. Let us know if you try it for your next party!

You will need:- 4 links of Chorizo sausage- 1/2 pound wedge of 12 month Manchego Cheese- 20 baby tomatoes- 1 loaf of crusty bread, cut into slices- 10 wooden skewersPreparation:Grill sausages on medium heat then pull off of the grill and set aside to cool. While the sausages are on the grill, cut the cheese into 1 inch cubes and set aside. Cut the sausage into 1 inch slices. Using the wooden skewers, pierce the sausage and then the tomato, and cheese, then sausage, tomato, and cheese and then sausage. Repeat with all the skewers, and serve with slices of bread. I like to place some olives on the side as well.
