Pork souvlaki with fennel and coriander seeds on toasted flatbread
Matt Preston's simple recipe is fantastic for when you have friends over - just add a fresh salad (and of course, a few beers!)

Ingredients (9)

  • 400g pork fillet, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 1 tbs each of coriander seeds and fennel seeds, lightly toasted, finely crushed
  • Olive oil, to drizzle
  • Thick Greek-style yoghurt, lemon halves and iceberg salad (recipe follows), to serve

Flatbread (makes 12)

  • 1 2/3 cups (250g) fine “00” flour
  • 1 2/3 cups (250g) strong (baker’s) flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 150ml milk
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) good olive oil

Method

  • 1.
    For the flatbreads, sift flours, baking powder and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl. Add milk, oil and 150ml warm water and bring together with your hands.
  • 2.
    Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until you have a smooth, pliable dough. This will take about 15 minutes of vigorous activity. Add a little extra water until you achieve a moist, light but not sticky dough. (If you’re lazy, use an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead for 10-12 minutes until you have a smooth dough.) Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Set aside in a warm spot for 30-60 minutes to allow the dough to relax.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, thread pork cubes onto 4 metal or soaked bamboo skewers and rub all over in the crushed seeds – loads will fall off as you cook. Chill until needed.
  • 4.
    Divide the dough into 12 x 70g balls. On a floured surface, roll each portion out into 3mm-thick rectangles.
  • 5.
    Preheat a lightly oiled barbecue hotplate to medium and the grill to medium-high. Shake excess flour from dough and cook on the hotplate in batches for 3-4 minutes each side until light golden and cooked – the dough will bubble slightly and lift off the plate. If desired, transfer to the grill for a further minute each side until charred.
  • 6.
    Drizzle skewers with oil and cook on the grill in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through. Serve with flatbreads, yoghurt, lemon and salad.
