2) To make the salsa, place all of the ingredients in a small food processor. Add 1tbsp of water and blitz until fine. Set aside until ready to serve.

3) Cook the kebabs under a very hot grill for around 3 minutes each side or until just cooked through whilst remaining moist.

4) Serve the kebabs with the green salsa, some warmed chapatis and some natural yogurt.

Thai Pork Skewers

These kebabs/skewers are packed full of rich umami flavour without the usual whack of chilli often found in Thai Cooking. Easy to prepare and cook, they would be a fantastic addition to a BBQ or can be grilled and served with noodles for an easy supper.

Served here with some diced chilli, tomato and lime, the skewers pair perfectly with a good squirt of Sriracha sauce!
