"This is my ultimate kebab platter that makes the best feast for everyone to tuck into at dinner. Shove everything onto the table so you can all help yourselves and build the perfect kebab."

For the kebabs

2 tbs olive oil, plus extra for greasing
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp dried mint
600g pork shoulder, cut into 2cm cubes

For the sides

300g oven chips
150g red cabbage
150g white cabbage
2 large handfuls of coriander leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbs olive oil
250g Greek yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed

To serve

Flatbreads
Pickles
Lemon wedges
Chilli sauce

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Brush a roasting tray with a little oil, then add the chips, pop in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden.
2.

Meanwhile, for the kebabs, mix the oil, lemon zest, juice of 1/2 lemon, garlic, black pepper, dried mint and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Chuck in the pork and mix well. Thread the pork onto eight metal skewers – if you are using wooden skewers, soak them first to stop them burning.
3.

Preheat the grill to high. Place the kebabs onto a grill rack and grill them for 3-5 minutes on each side until charred, golden and cooked through.
4.

To make the sides, start with the salad. Mix the red and white cabbage together with the coriander, lemon juice, olive oil and a good pinch of salt in a bowl. Then, make the garlic yoghurt: mix the yoghurt with the garlic and a pinch of salt in a little serving bowl.
5.

To serve, arrange the kebabs onto a huge serving platter. Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice and season with salt. Add the chips, salad, breads, the bowl with the yoghurt, any pickles you like and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with chilli sauce.
