I actually made this on a small electric grill in the kitchen ....therefore not needing the skewers

It was the idea of skewers that made me go 'that's that scuppered then!', so it's good to know it can be done on a grill type thing. Problem is, the closest I have to that is a sandwich toaster - do you think that would work?

Absolutely face..... granted it might not have quite the same "smoky" flavour that an outdoor grill would, but I think it be worth a go.

As usual Aja this looks delish and I will give it a go sometime, although, I'll be leaving out the radishes.

Face U can do it under the grill (toaster) or a raised ridge frying pan thingy i used my fajita grill...... do U mean a little george foreman type sandwich maker ??? if so thats fine .....
