Pork, Bread and Bay Skewers (4)
Instructions
  1. Cut the pork and bread into 2½cm cubes and put in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, grind over some pepper, add a few tablespoon of olive oil, toss well and leave to sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Alternating pork, bread, and bay leaves, push the cubes and leaves on to 8 metal or soaked wooden skewers.
  3. Trim the fennel, cutting away the tough base and fingers, and pulling away the thick outer layer, then slice thinly. Put the fennel in a baking tray, sprinkle with salt, zigzag over some olive oil and toss. Put in the oven at 180C (160C fan)/350F/gas 4 for 15 minutes, then pull out and toss again.
  4. Lay the skewers on the bed of fennel, zigzag over a little more oil, and grill gently for 15-20 minutes, not too near the heat and turning the skewers from time to time. Serve hot.
