Braised skilpadjie with golden pork skin and watercress

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
20 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 8 pre-prepared skilpadjies
  • 60g watercress
  • ½ cup hot water
  • prepared pork skin, for serving
  • coarse black salt, for seasoning
  • freshly ground pink peppercorns, for seasoning

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Place a pan over a medium-to-high heat. Drizzle olive oil onto the hot surface then quickly seal and colour each skilpadjie.

Place on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Place the watercress and hot water in a blender then blend until thoroughly combined, to form a juice.

Serve the skilpadjies with crisp pork skin and a light drizzle of watercress juice, then season with coarse black salt and a crack of pink pepper.

Cook’s note: Skilpadjies are sheep liver wrapped in a sheer layer of sheep fat and are available at selected butcheries.
