  1. Lon is a spicy dip that is good with drinks. Serve as an appetiser or as part of a Thai banquet with crisp, raw vegetables such as snake beans cut into 2.5 cm (1 in) lengths, baby corn, cabbage, witlof, deep-fried betel leaves, crisp fish cake and cucumber.

  2. Heat the chicken stock until boiling, add the pork mince and cook, using a spatula to break up any lumps. Now add the coconut cream and tamarind, fish sauce and sugar. Taste for seasoning it should taste sweet, salty and sour.

  3. Add the rest of the ingredients except the lime juice, fold through and remove the pan from the heat.

  4. Taste, and season with more sugar and fish sauce, making sure the lon has a good depth of flavour as it is to be a dip for raw vegetables.

  5. Place the relish in a serving bowl and stir in the lime juice.
