Lamb Kebabs with Tamarind Yoghurt
Minced lamb, gently spiced with green chilli, garlic and cumin and paired with a sweet and tangy tamarind yoghurt. The perfect quick, midweek meal that is also great when cooked on the barbecue if the weather allows.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Into a medium size mixing bowl add the minced lamb, grated garlic, ground cumin, half of the chopped chilli, half of the chopped coriander and the juice of half the lemon. Season well with salt and black pepper. Mix the lamb and all the ingredients really well until combined and sticky. Roll the meat into fat sausage shapes which should be around 8cm in length. If cooking for 4, you should be able to make around 12 in total.
Step 2
Make the salad by chopping the peeled and deseeded cucumber and the tomatoes. Mix in a bowl with the remaining chopped coriander and the remainnig half of the chopped green chilli. Slice the red onion as finely as you can and mix this with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Season with salt, pepper and the remaining lemon juice.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to full. Place the rolled lamb onto a large tray and drizzle with a touch of oil. Place the tray under the grill to cook for 6 minutes, before turning over each kebab and cooking for a further 6 minutes. Remove from the grill and leave to rest. You can also pan-fry these if you wish.
Step 4
Mix the tamarind sauce with the greek yoghurt. Heat the chapattis under the still-warm grill or in a large dry frying pan for a few minutes until just warmed through. Separate the baby gem lettuce leaves and give them a quick wash and dry. If using, heat the rice according to the packet instructions.
Step 5
Build the chapattis at the table by laying them onto plates. Add a large spoonful of the tamarind yoghurt to each chapatti. Place on the cooked lamb (3 per person), a few lettuce leaves, a large heap of tomato salad and a few extra chopped green chillies if you wish. Serve with the rice on the side, if using.
