Directions
- Soak wooden skewers if using them by submerging 4–6 in water until ready to use.
- Wash and dry all produce; pat the pork dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Split the jalapeño lengthwise, remove seeds and ribs, then mince and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the minced jalapeño with blueberries, maple syrup, vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire, and salt; mix well.
- Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 6–8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Toss the pork cubes with oil and spices in a bowl until evenly coated.
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Thread pork onto skewers and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely mince the shallot and whisk with oil, vinegar, Dijon, salt, and pepper to form a dressing. Add the defrosted corn and toss to coat.
- Roughly chop the pecans and add them to a large bowl with the mixed greens and feta; toss gently to combine.
- Serve the skewers with the salad, spoon over some of the jalapeño blueberry sauce, and enjoy.
Two tips
- Leftover sauce keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
- If you prefer, serve the pork directly over the salad without skewering for a quick plated dish.
