Method
- Whizz all the ingredients (except the pork) to a paste in a food processor. Transfer half to a mixing bowl, add the pork and coat, then cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Put the remaining sauce in a saucepan with a generous splash of water and heat gently, stirring, until the sauce turns a shade darker. Set aside until needed.
- If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water to stop them burning. Heat the grill as high as it will go. Lightly oil a foil-lined baking tray. Thread the pork onto 8-12 skewers, then lay out on the tray and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until blackened in places and cooked through. Serve with the sauce and your choice of accompaniments.
