Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 small red-skinned potatoes
2 1/2 pounds ahi tuna, cut into 1 1/2 x 1 x 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 skewers
2 cups hickory smoke chips, soaked in water 30 minutes, drained
Basque Tomato Sauce

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Cool completely.
  • Cut potatoes in half. Combine potatoes, tuna, paprika and oil in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.) Alternate potato halves and tuna on skewers.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place smoke chips in 8 x 6-inch foil packet with open top. Set atop coals 5 minutes before grilling kebabs. Grill kebabs until tuna is just cooked through, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  • Spoon Basque Tomato Sauce onto plates. Arrange kebabs atop sauce; serve.
