Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 roasted & peeled Hatch Chiles (click here for How to roast and peel peppers) *
- 2 dozen red, seedless grapes, washed, dried
- about 2 ounces chorizo, thinly sliced and cut into 2 dozen bite-sized pieces
- about 4 ounces Manchego cheese, thinly sliced and cut into 2 dozen bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Prep chiles. Roast chiles,if you haven't already. (Here's How.) Then cut off the stems and remove the seeds. Then cut them each, vertically, into about 8 equal sized strips.
- Assemble. Wrap a chile strip around each grape, using a toothpick to secure it. If it doesn’t go all the way around, that’s okay — if it does, try to overlap the ends before sticking the toothpick through. Push the wrapped grape gently towards the top of the toothpick. Beneath the wrapped grapes, add a piece of the chorizo, followed by a piece of the cheese.
- Keep refrigerated, lightly covered with plastic wrap, until you’re ready to serve them. They can be made up to 4 hours ahead of time.
