Lemongrass Pork Skewers | Vietnamese BBQ Pork Recipe

Lemongrass Pork Skewers, these are reminiscent of the flavours I remember whilst travelling around Vietnam.

BBQ pork with chilli, lemongrass, mint, all wrapped around a stick of lemongrass, perfect for your summer bbq or on the griddle for a winter treat (I have no idea what you’re going ot do in spring and autumn).

I love south-east Asian food it just feels healthy to eat and wonderfully aromatic with fresh vibrant ingredients.

I love using lemongrass as a skewer to poke into a fish or wrap some meat around for the flavour it imparts, which is exactly what I’ve done here – I hope you enjoy!
