Method

  1. Soak eight wooden skewers in cold water for at least 5 mins. Cut the pork into large cubes. Halve and stone the peaches, then cut into chunks. Grate the zest from half the lemon and squeeze out the juice. Reserve 1 tbsp of the juice, then mix the remainder with the zest and honey. Alternately thread the pork and peach slices onto the skewers. Brush all over with the honey and lemon mix, then grill or barbecue for 10-12 mins, turning regularly, until cooked.
  2. Separate the lettuce leaves and mix with the watercress. Whisk the reserved lemon juice with the olive oil, mustard and a little seasoning. Toss with the salad leaves and serve with the kebabs.

Healthy benefits

An average-size peach supplies almost a day's recommended amount of vitamin C. Peaches are also a rich source of iron, which boosts immunity and helps to prevent anaemia and tiredness.

    This was delicious. Made for a BBQ and guests commented on the flavours and how nice the salad was. Really easy to do and very nice to look at, and tastes gorgeous.

    Made these today, wife, kids and myself loved them. We have a family BBQ this weekend and will be making them again for that. Ps we used pork belly as a substitute as it was on offer, just as tasty but not as lean. Oops!

    These were nice, the peach worked well with the pork and this was a nice summer's meal to eat outdoors al fresco style. However, the marinade on the pork could have done with being a bit more flavoursome, it smelled amazing when cooking but the honey and lemon flavour was extremely subtle. Next time I think I will use more lemon juice and zest or perhaps a bit of lime. Will try it again though.

    I made this tonight on the BBQ, and it was delicious! I used Herbes de Provence in the dressing, and it was superb. My lemon seemed very, very tart, so I also added 1/4 tsp sugar to the dressing, which balanced it out perfectly. While the pork was very yummy, I will definitely make this again with the just the salad and grilled peaches for a vegetarian night. I think I may also swap out the lemon for a lime in the future. Either way, this is a perfect quick meal, worthy of a casual dinner party or just a night in.

    What a fantastic, flavorsome, simple and quick meal to put together. The taste was well balanced although I did add slightly more lemon juice to the honey baste for the kebabs. These were a hit with the family, so no doubt will be on the menu again in our house in the very near future ! I did add new mini potatoes roasted with thyme and rosemary to serve on the side, all went so well together.

    I wanted to make something easy but a little more impressive than the usual sausages for a BBQ. This recipe was perfect. It was simple, extremely tasty and was very popular. Will def make again.
