Method
step 1
Soak 12-14 long bamboo skewers in water for 1 hr. To make the rica-rica, combine all the ingredients, except the oil and lime, in a blender and whizz to a fine paste.
step 2
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the rica-rica and fry for 6-7 mins. Season with the lime juice and some salt, and fry for another 2 mins.
step 3
To make the satay, season the pork with ½ tsp of salt and put it in a bowl with half of the rica-rica and the lime juice, mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 mins.
step 4
Heat a barbecue or a griddle pan over a high heat. Thread four pieces of pork onto each skewer. Grill the pork for 5-6 mins, brushing it with marinade and turning often, until cooked through. Transfer the skewers to a plate. Serve with rice and the remaining rica-rica.
