This recipe, destined to become a regular at our BBQs, was inspired by the television show “Secret Eats with Adam Richman”. The beauty of this recipe is, it appears to be a lot more difficult to prepare than it is.
Ingredients
6-8 lemongrass stalks 2 spring onions, finley sliced on the diagonal
1/2 bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped 6 leaves Vietnamese basil, shredded
500 grams minced pork 1/8 cup melted pork fat
fresh lime
Method
- Prepare the lemongrass stalks, by making 6-8 slices in each stalk.
- P
lace the minced pork, spring onion, coriander, Vietnamese basil and pork fat and mix together thoroughly. - Taking each lemongrass stalk form a “boat” and carefully stuff the pork mixture into each stalk, pulling the strips around the pork (the result looks like a Chinese lantern).
- Cook over coals, turning regularly, until cooked through.
- Sprinkle with coriander and Vietnamese basil and serve with lime wedges.
