African Piri - Piri Kabobs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb sweet potato
1 lb boneless venison, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces (I will use beef)
2 red sweet peppers, cut up
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons purchased piri-piri, spice (or make your own with this recipe)
Piri-piri spice mix
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground piri-piri pepper or 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

Preparation

Peel sweet potatoes, if desired and cut into 1 1/4 inch cubes.
Cook potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes or until slightly tender.
Drain, cool slightly.
Alternately thread the sweet potato, venison or beef and sweet pepper pieces on 4 long metal skewers, leaving a 1/4 inch space between pieces.
Brush with olive oil and sprinkle generously with piri-piri spice.
Place kabobs on the lightly oiled rack of the grill directly over medium heat.
Grill for 25 to 35 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender, turning occasionally.
