+ marinating time

Marinating pork or chicken in buttermilk is a great trick for achieving really tender, juicy meat. It also makes a great low fat creamy salad dressing.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 360g lean pork fillet , cut into 1.5cm cubes
  • 300g waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 300g orange sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 sticks celery, finely sliced
  • 4 radishes, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons 2cm long pieces snipped chives
  • 2 tablespoons macadamia nuts, chopped and toasted

METHOD

  1. In a shallow dish combine 1/2 cup buttermilk with the rosemary and garlic. Add the pork, cover and chill for at least one hour or overnight.
  2. Place potatoes in a saucepan with cold water to cover by at least 3 cm. Bring to the boil and cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked . Drain and cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Combine the remaining buttermilk with mustard, vinegar and pepper to taste. Gently toss potatoes, celery, radishes, chives and dressing in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  4. Lift the pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard marinade. Thread pork onto skewers and cook on a medium-hot grill, for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.
  5. To serve, sprinkle salad with nuts and alongside pork skewers.
