Ingredients
4 corn ears, skins removed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup coriander, roughly chopped
750g (5 cups) blueberries
400g mini heirloom tomatoes, cut in halves and quarters
1 kg pork eye fillet
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp chilli flakes
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup cider vinegar
70g (1/4 cup) tomato paste
Coriander, for garnish
For the salad, coat the corn ears with olive oil spray. Place a griddle frypan over a high heat for 5 minutes. Transfer corn onto pan and cook, turning every 3-4 minutes until charred and cooked.
Remove corn from heat and allow to cool a little. Place corn onto a chopping board and using a sharp knife remove the kernels. Repeat with all corn and place kernels into a large bowl.
Add olive oil, lemon juice, coriander, 2 cups blueberries and the tomatoes. Lightly toss, cover and place in fridge.
For the skewers cut pork into 2cm cubes and place into a large bowl. Sprinkle with cumin, cinnamon, paprika, garlic salt, black pepper and chilli flakes. Toss to combine and thread onto 8 skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak for 15 minutes before use) place into a deep baking dish.
Place remaining blueberries, honey, vinegar and tomato paste in a medium saucepan over a high heat. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes or until thick. Pour half the mixture into a small bowl and set aside.
Heat a large griddle frypan over a high heat. Spray the pork with a coat of olive oil and place on the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes before turning and baste with half the blueberry sauce. Cook a further 4-5 minutes, remove skewers from heat and baste with the remaining sauce.
Arrange salad on serving platter, top with pork skewers and garnish with coriander.
