Method

Put all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan & bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat & simmer gently for 2 mins, or until slightly thickened.

Season with salt & pepper. 听Keep hot or leave to cool ready for serving.

Chop the prunes into small pieces & put in a bowl.

Add the minced pork, sage, nutmeg, chilli powder & mayonnaise & season really well with salt & pepper.

Mix in a little of the beaten egg to bind everything together.

Mould the mixture into 7 small flat patties.

Alternatively, you can mould the mixture onto small bamboo kebab skewers, pre-soaked in cold water for 30 mins.

They can be cooked in the same way as the patties.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan & cook the patties (or kebabs) on each side for about 4-5 mins.

Serve straight away with the hot or cooled sauce.

Nigel's Top Tip

听

As an alternative to patties, you can mould the mixture onto small bamboo kebab skewers, pre-soaked in cold water for 30 mins, which can then be cooked in the same way as the patties.
