Ingredients
2 | Pork steaks / fillets, trimmed of sinew (Main) |
1 tsp | Cumin seeds, roasted |
1 tsp | Coriander seeds, roasted |
1 tsp | Fennel seeds, roasted |
2 | Bay leaves |
1 tsp | Flaky sea salt |
4 | Garlic cloves |
2 tsp | Sweet smoked paprika |
2 Tbsp | Tomato paste |
2 Tbsp | Olive oil |
Directions
- Soak bamboo skewers for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Cut the pork into 1cm thick pieces and place into a mixing bowl.
- Grind the cumin, coriander and fennel seeds in a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle and add to the bowl.
- Remove the centre vein from the bay leaves and grind to a smooth paste with the salt. Add the garlic to the paste and grind until smooth.
- Add paste to the bowl with the pork and spices and add the paprika, tomato paste and olive oil and mix to combine.
- Place 3 pieces of pork on to each skewer and either grill on a barbecue (charcoal is very good here) or under a hot oven grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cooked but still juicy.
- Serve immediately on a simple salad of quickly blanched butter beans, chopped tomato, red onion and parsley. If you like to add an extra kick serve pickled chillies on the side.
