Top tip: If you’re hosting, you can prepare the kebabs and walnut salsa in advance and refrigerate, then simply BBQ when you’re ready.

Ingredients

  • 50g/1.7oz Caster sugar
  • 1 Lime zest and juice
  • 50g/1.7 oz California walnuts chopped
  • 4 Large strawberries
  • 1 Orange and yellow flesh melon cut into cubes
  • 1 Banana cut into 4 chunks
  • 2 tsp Flavourless oil (vegetable oil is good for this)
  • Lemon sorbet or (vegan) Greek yoghurt to serve

Method

  • Step 1

    To make the walnut salsa, place the caster sugar in a small saucepan with the lime juice and 4 tbsp water. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes or until the sauce is pale golden in colour. Add the lime zest then stir in the walnuts and set aside to cool. 

  • Step 2

    Thread the prepared fruit onto 4 wooden satay sticks or skewers. Brush them with a little flavourless oil and place them on a hot BBQ for 2-3 minutes each side. 

  • Step 3

    Remove from the BBQ and place each kebab on a serving plate. Spoon over the walnut salsa and serve with a scoop of lemon sorbet or a spoonful of vegan Greek-style yoghurt, if you like.
