When I discovered this recipe, I knew everyone at home would be thrilled. From selecting the ingredients to the last bite, we’ve all enjoyed it like small children. It seems to me a fantastic option to prepare and savour with the family, whether made in the home kitchen or on a camping barbecue. I promise this spiral butifarra on the grill is incredible. You have to try it!
To avoid burning your fingers once it’s ready and sliced, I recommend serving it with a good loaf or baguette, ideally homemade or from your trusted bakery. Placing a slice of butifarra, with its peppers and melted cheese, on a piece of bread adds an extra burst of flavour and makes it easier to eat. Although sometimes that’s not the most important thing, because part of the experience is finishing the bite by licking your fingers.
Want to see how to prepare this wonderful spiral butifarra on the grill? No more talk! Here’s the list of ingredients and steps so you can make it easily. I highly recommend using your Mineral B cast‑iron skillet by De Buyer. You’ll taste how juicy and flavourful it turns out. Try it and let me know!
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1 fresh or farmhouse-style butifarra
- 1 green pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 large green asparagus spear
- 3 slices of Tomme herbal cheese
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
- Dried thyme
Preparation
- Wash the peppers and cut them into roughly 1 cm strips using a sharp knife, such as the De Buyer Asian chef’s knife. Set aside.
- Remove the tough end of the asparagus and slice it lengthways into four strips.
- Brush your De Buyer iron skillet with holes (ideal for grilling vegetables) with oil and place it on the barbecue. When hot, add peppers and asparagus, sprinkle with dried thyme and sauté.
- While the vegetables grill, cut the cheese into rectangles as shown in the video.
- Spiral the butifarra and insert the cheese pieces inside following the coil.
- Add basil leaves likewise, and repeat with the roasted peppers and asparagus until well filled.
- Secure everything with three stainless‑steel skewers to hold the spiral together.
- Place the spiral carefully in your Mineral B cast‑iron skillet and let it cook.
- Once seared, turn it over and cover it with the De Buyer cooking cloche, so it retains all its aroma and juiciness.
- When ready, remove the spiral carefully, take out the skewers and slice into portions. Enjoy every bite!
