What to eat with pork skewers
Take your pork skewers to the next level by serving them with tasty side dishes!This guide offers helpful tips and recipe ideas for a memorable meal.
- Coleslaw;
- Coleslaw is a classic side to enjoy with pork skewers. A creamy mayonnaise based dressing, tossed together with crisp cabbage and carrots makes for the perfect crunchy and tart complement to the salty flavour of grilled pork skewers. This popular side dish pairs perfectly with any kind of pork skewers, from teriyaki to plain grilled.
- Steamed rice;
- Serving steamed Rice with your pork skewer meal can make all the difference in creating a flavourful and balanced meal. Choose from different types or colours of steamed rice like jasmine, brown or even purple, for an added touch of visual interest.
- Potato Salad;
- Potato salad is another great side to serve alongside barbecued pork skewers.
It's always a crowd pleaser due to its delicious creamy texture, made possible by a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar and seasonings usually found in grandma's secret recipe! This creamy potato salad also adds bacon bits for extra flavour, or throw in some vegetables if you please – either way you're sure not to go wrong with this classic side dish! - Fresh Herb Salad;
- Fresh herb salads are always welcome at any summer BBQ gathering- and they're definitely worth trying out when it comes to serving up your pork skewers! Simply mix two or three fresh herbs like parsley, chervil and mint into a bowl of dark green leaves such as rocket or lettuce for a light yet flavourful addition to your party tray!
- Baked Beans;
- Baked beans are one of our favourite sides when it comes time for grilling up something special – particularly if it is pork-skewers we’re talking about here! These comforting legumes come in several varieties but work just as well no matter whichever recipe you decide to opt-in for; simply serve them hot alongside the freshly cooked bbq treats!
- Potato Fries;
- No barbeque feast would be complete without potato fries – and when served alongside juicy seasoned skewers they provide an even greater indulgence factor than usual!
Baked, deep-fried or pan fried whichever way they’re prepared - they give off that perfect crispy crunch which will surely make your guests lick their fingers after every bite (or forkful…)! Just make sure you have plenty ketchup on hand too.
