Freshen up winter meatballs with these Thai-syle pork skewers with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

500g pork mince
1 cup (70g) fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 small red chillies
1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar
1/4 cup (60ml) rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt and
2 tablespoons water
Cos lettuce, mint and coriander leaves, to serve

Method

1.

Soak 8 wooden skewers for 30 minutes.
2.

Place pork, breadcrumbs, curry paste, ginger and fish sauce in a bowl. Mix well. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour so flavours infuse.
3.

Meanwhile, remove seeds from chillies and finely chop. Place in a saucepan with sugar, rice wine vinegar, salt and water. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Cool.
4.

Shape mince into 24 balls, then carefully thread 3 onto each skewer. Heat a lightly oiled chargrill or frypan on medium heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning, until cooked through.
5.

Serve with lettuce, mint and coriander to wrap, with the chilli dipping sauce.
