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.

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.

5

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.
