Preheat the grill to hot.
For the meatballs, combine the pork, garlic, lemon grass (or zest), spring onion, coriander, red curry paste, lime juice, fish sauce and egg in a large mixing bowl. Season to taste with black pepper, before moulding into walnut-sized balls. Place onto the grill tray and place under the heat, brushing with a little vegetable oil as they brown. When the meatballs are crisp and brown on all
sides, arrange a little watercress (or any salad leaves) on each serving plate. Scatter over a few hot meatballs and the Folláin Cucumber Pickle.
Serve straight away.
