Prep time

Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 6 garlic cloves, finely crushed
- Olive Oil: 4 tbsp olive oil
- Lime: juice 2 limes
- Thyme: generous pinch fresh thyme
- Orange: juice 2 oranges, plus wedges to serve
- Ginger: 1l bottle ginger ale, chilled
- Cumin Seed: 1 tsp cumin seed, lightly crushed
- Caster Sugar: 85g caster sugar
- Pork Fillet: 500g lean pork fillet, diced
- Ice: crushed ice
- Lager: 3 x 330ml bottles lager, chilled
Directions
- To make the skewers, pour the oil into a large heavy-based pan, add the garlic and cook over a low heat until cooked and starting to toast - take care not to burn. Tip in the cumin, stir briefly, then add the citrus juices, thyme and some seasoning. Allow to boil for several mins to concentrate and make a sauce. Cool.
- Put your pork into a bowl, and stir in three-quarters of the cooled marinade. Leave to marinate for 1 hr at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
- When ready to serve, thread the pork onto 18 pre-soaked wooden skewers. Griddle for 2 mins on each side or until cooked. Arrange on a platter, pour over the remaining sauce and serve garnished with orange wedges.
- To make the coolers, put a handful of crushed ice into each of 6 tall glasses. Stir the lime juice and sugar together until the sugar dissolves, then tip into the glasses. Divide the lager, then the ginger ale between the glasses, top with lime slices and serve with the pork skewers.
