Ingredients

1. Preheat an air-fryer to 200°C. Cook the espetadas for 20 minutes.

3. Spread the hummus onto a platter and top with the chickpeas and sliced vegetables. Season with lime juice and zest, 1 T olive oil and salt and pepper.
4. Create a nest on the platter using the whipped feta dip. Toss the apple, celery and mint in the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice, then season.

If there’s one thing you need to braai this summer, it’s the espetada. We’re deeply enamoured with Woolworths' Moroccan pork belly and Korean BBQ-style beef espetadas – they're deliciously juicy, easy to cook (they can go on the braai or into the air-fryer) and brimming with flavour. The Moroccan pork belly espetadas go down a treat with a salad, while the Korean BBQ beef espetadas, which boast bold flavours of gochujang and toasted sesame, are begging to be braaied, sliced and stuffed into a warm bun, or served with whipped feta and a fresh green salad to temper the spice.
