Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat fish dry. Mix sambal with lemongrass and lime juice in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Stuff each fish cavity with sambal mixture. Wrap each fish in banana leaf, sealing the edges.

  3. Step 3

    Thread pork cubes onto skewers. Preheat oven to 450°F or heat a grill to medium-high.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange wrapped fish, pork skewers, and hot dogs on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Roast or grill until fish flakes at the thickest part, skewers are charred, and sausage is golden, 18–22 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, unwrapping banana leaves at the table for drama.

Tools you’ll need
