Ingredients

3 long pieces bacon, rind removed, cut in half crosswise

1 medium zucchini, cut crosswise into 6 equal pieces

12 small cherry or grape tomatoes

6 25cm long bamboo skewers

6 thin beef sausages

cooking oil spray

tomato or barbecue sauce, to serve

Method

1.To assemble each sword, thread bacon, a piece of zucchini and 2 tomatoes onto a skewer to make sword hilt. Thread a sausage onto skewer to make the blade.

2.Heat a large char-grill pan over moderately high heat. Spray skewers with oil; cook and turn for 10-15 minutes or until sausages are cooked and bacon is crisp. Transfer to a heatproof plate. Serve with sauce.

To prevent scorching, soak skewers in cold water for 20 minutes. Use a large frying pan instead of a char-grill pan; cooking time may vary.
