South-African Oepsies & spicy slaw

  1. 1Start by marinating the oepsies a night before. Fold a bacon strip lengthwise over itself, so you get a thinner strip. Stick a skewer through one end of the bacon strip, then twist the bacon all around the skewer, sticking the end of the bacon in the skewer to make it set. Repeat with the remaining bacon and lay the finished skewers onto a large tray.
  2. 2Mix the BBQ sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar and oregano.
  3. 3Brush the marinade all over the skewers, so that the bacon is well covered. Cover with cling film and marinade in the fridge overnight.
  4. 4The next day, prepare the slaw. Heat the BBQ and grill the corn on the cob for 25 minutes, turning it regularly until it’s cooked through and charred in places. Set aside to cool a little while preparing the other vegetables.
  5. 5Finely slice the cabbage and the spring onion and put in a bowl. Peel and grate the carrot and add to the bowl. Roughly chop the coriander and add to the bowl.
  6. 6Get the corn off the cob and add it to the bowl with the other vegetables.
  7. 7Add the mayonnaise and the Samouraï sauce to the vegetables and toss so that the vegetables are all covered. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
  8. 8Grill the oepsies on the barbecue until nicely browned all over (about 5 minutes). and serve with coleslaw and lime wedges.
