Peri Peri Pork Skewers with Maple Sweet Potatoes

Peri Peri Pork Skewers with Maple Sweet Potatoes

Peri peri doesn’t have to stop with the usual chicken. Our take featuring free-range pork has all the same smoky flavour. Maple-glazed sweet potatoes, rich in vitamins, and a moreish chipotle dip complete the spread.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Cut the sweet potatoes into 1cm thick fries (peel optional). Place onto a lined baking tray and toss with the paprika, maple syrup, 1/2 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden. Trim the broccoli and add to the tray in the final 10-12 mins of roasting.
  2. Make the salsa; roughly chop the coriander (save some for the dip). Halve the tomatoes. Roughly dice the cucumber. Combine everything in a bowl with juice from half the lime. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Trim and discard the fat from the pork, then cut into 8 pieces. Coat with the peri peri seasoning, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Thread the pork evenly onto the skewers.
  4. Heat a large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 3-4 mins, per side, until golden. Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the pork. Transfer to a lined baking tray and bake for 5 mins, until cooked through.
  5. Make the dip; in a small bowl, mix together the yoghurt, chipotle (to taste - it's spicy) and remaining coriander.
  6. Serve the fries, broccoli and skewers with the chipotle dip and salsa.
