500 g pork cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 garlic clove, peeled

4 tablespoons oil

1 tablespoon curry powder

Place the lamb and pork pieces in a large bowl that has been rubbed with the clove of garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and toss. In a saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onions and sautè for 5-6 minutes, then add the curry powder and garlic. Sautè for another minute. Add the sugar, tamarind paste, vinegar, and jam and stir well. Stir the cornstarch mixture and add it to the onions, and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This should take about 3 minutes. Cool, then add to the meat and toss well.

Kingklip Kabobs on Tropical Paradise
Submitted by: KatjaGirl
600 g kingklip fillets, skinned and cubed
3 ml spice for fish
2 bananas sliced
410 g peaches, or mangos, tinned
25 ml butter
15 ml rum
Lemon Hollandiaise Sauce:
25 ml well flavoured stock
25 ml lemon juice
10 ml lemon rind
3 egg yolks
185 g butter
5 ml green bottled peppercorns
Thread the kingklip onto small skewers or toothpicks. Sprinkle with spice for fish. Dot with about 15 ml of the butter and place under a hot grill, turn frequently to ensure kebabs are cooked evenly. Melt remaining butter in a small pan, sauté bananas and peaches, pour over rum and flambé. To flambé quickly light a match and put it to the juices in the pan, they should flame.
Lemon Hollandaise Sauce:
Combine stock, lemon juice, rind and egg yolks in a bowl or top of a double boiler. Place over boiling water and whisk until the mixture has thickened. Using a whisk, whisk in small cubes of the butter one at a time, whisk until the butter has melted before adding more butter. This will take about 10 minutes. Add peppercorns. Divide the fruit between the serving plates, top with kebabs and pour over the sauce. Garnish with small umbrellas or fresh flowers.
