Meat

Ingredients

Loin of pork - 6 small slices

Boned chicken - 6 small pieces

Pig's liver - 6 slices

Baby lamb chops - 6

Streaky bacon - 24 slices

Sage - 24 leaves

Rosemary, finely chopped - 2 sprigs

Pepper

Olive oil -  1/2 cup

Juniper berries - 3-4

Salt

Thread a piece of pork, chicken, liver and a lamb chop on to each of 6 skewers, alternating them with a slice of bacon and a leaf of sage; sprinkle each skewers in a wide shallow dish, sprinkle them with pepper and pour the olive oil over them. Add the juniper berries and leave for 5 to 6 hours.

Cook the skewers over charcoal if possible, or under a very hot broiler for 15 minutes, turning frequently. Serve as soon as the meat is cooked, lightly sprinkled with salt. Alternatively, the skewers may be cooked in a hot oven, placed on a rack in a baking pan.
