2 tsp molasses or honey 2 tbsp

Rice, peas & Corn Salad
90g cooked rice
1/4 cucumber

equipment: 8 wooden (soaked for 2 hrs) or metal skewers

-
Put the pork mince in a bowl
and use your hands to mix in the allspice, cinnamon,
thyme, spring onions, garlic, lime zest and molasses or
honey. Drizzle the olive oil over a large plate.
-
Divide the mince mixture into
eight portions and roll into even-sized balls. Working with
one ball at a time and using wet hands, press the ball
onto a skewer, forming it into a sausage shape around the
skewer as you go. Transfer the finished skewers to the
oiled plate and keep chilled until needed. You can
leave out the skewers, cook them indoors on a grill and
just put the skewers on to serve. Will keep
covered in the fridge for up to a day.
-
Light the barbecue. When the
coals are ashen, place the skewers on the grill and cook,
undisturbed, for 2 mins. Carefully turn using tongs and
cook for another 5 mins before turning again. Repeat this
process once more until the skewers are cooked through and
browned. If you don't have a barbecue, you can use the
grill or a frying pan, but it might take a bit longer to
cook.
-
Remove to a serving platter,
squeeze over the lime wedges and season. Serve with a rice
salad, if you like (ours was a mixture of cooked rice,
sweetcorn, red onion and herbs).
