Dinner with friends and zero ideas for cooking? Perhaps this time too I could recommend a little something interesting. If you like meat skewers but you don't want to fall on the banal, I propose a very, very particular alternative. By now you know me: I love the contrasts between sweet and savory. meat and fruit (apricots in particular) But that's not all: as an accompanying sauce we will make an avocado cream which - in my opinion - goes divinely with the cuts of meat I have selected.

Did you know that
The proposed sauce is a reinterpretation of the Guasacaca sauce from Venezuela, ideal to accompany grilled and grilled meats. In addition to the ingredients described above, the original recipe for guasacaca sauce also includes the addition of garlic and onion.- Cut 2 large apricots into 8 pieces. Remove some rosemary leaves from the 4 twigs, leaving a tuft at the end: the leafless twigs will act as a toothpick for the meat.
- After 30 minutes, remove the meat from the marinating liquid.
- Skewer the cubes of chicken, turkey, veal and the pieces of sausage with the sprigs of rosemary, alternating each piece of meat with an eighth of apricot. Proceed like this until all the ingredients are used up.
- Season the skewers with salt and pepper.
The right idea
To better pierce the meat with the rosemary sprigs, it is advisable to pierce each piece with a pointed toothpick stick.- Heat a pan on the stove: when it is very hot, brown the 4 skewers without adding oil, butter or other condiments.
- Cook the meat on all sides over high heat, deglaze with the maceration liquid and lower the heat to cook the meat also in the center. It will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the meat skewers with the avocado and celery sauce.
