FAST FEASTS

This is my ultimate kebab platter that makes the best feast for everyone to tuck into at dinner. The kebabs are served with cooked chips – this might sound bonkers but it’s a very Eastern Mediterranean idea. Slaw, garlicky yogurt, flat breads, pickles and chilli sauce – shove everything onto the table so you can all help yourselves and build the perfect kebab.

PORK KEBAB PLATTER

FOR THE KEBABS

2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp dried mint
sea salt

600g pork shoulder, cut into 2cm cubes
FOR THE SIDES
300g oven chips
