Method

  • 1.
    Combine garlic, oregano, olive oil and lemon juice and zest in a large bowl, add pork, season, toss to coat, cover and leave to marinate for 10 minutes. Thread pork onto 8 metal skewers.
  • 2.
    For skordalia, in a saucepan cover potato and garlic with salted cold water, bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Blitz almonds, parsley and vinegar in a food processor to a fine paste. Season, add potato and garlic and pulse, scraping down edges between pulses, until just smooth. Don’t overwork or potato will turn gluey.
  • 3.
    Heat barbecue or a chargrill pan to medium heat. Grill pork for 5-7 minutes, turning often. Rest for 5 minutes covered loosely with foil. Serve skordalia on warm plates, top with skewers, rainbow chard, mint and a drizzle of olive oil.
