Normandy Bruchettes (Pork Kebabs)

Print page

Lean pork is a nutrient-dense source of protein which includes all the essential amino acids. Pork is also an excellent source of thiamin, or vitamin B1, which plays an important role in the breakdown of protein and fat. These braai kebabs are flavoured with cider and apple, well-known complements to tasty pork.

No fire? Simply pop the kebabs in a frying pan or under the grill.

Ingredients

450g pork fillet
300ml dry cider
2 crisp apples
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
Freshly ground black pepper

  • With a sharp knife, cut the pork into 2.5cm cubes, then place in a large, shallow, non-metallic dish.
