If you fancy something a little more substantial this summer than a leafy green salad you can’t go wrong with a filling, healthy bean salad. It is the perfect accompaniment to these tasty BBQ pork and pepper kebabs which can be cooked on the barbecue or under the grill if the British weather isn’t playing nice. Costcutter asked me to use ingredients from their vast independent range to make a family friendly recipe.
Using pork steaks already marinaded in a BBQ sauce means you literally only have to cut the pork into chunks and thread on the skewers along with the pepper. There is no need to do anything else and they taste so good. And, even better you can pick up all the ingredients up locally and they are very very reasonably priced.

Serves: 4
- 1 400g pack of X BBQ pork steaks
- 1-2 peppers, chopped into chunks. If they are large you can probably get away with one
- Preheat the grill or fire up the barbecue
- Thread the pork and peppers alternatively onto skewers
- Place the skewers onto a hot BBQ or under a grill and turn regularly until the pork is cooked through. They won't take very long at all.
- Serve with the delicious tangy mixed bean salad for a filling meal.
This tangy mixed bean salad is so tasty, very filling and makes a great accompaniment to the BBQ pork and pepper kebabs with plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day!
