Lamb and dried fruit are always a winner of a combo. Thrown into a tray with loads of veg, creamy chickpeas and heaps of Harissa, this is the perfect midweek meal...all in one tray!

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C fan.

Step 2

Chop the aubergines and courgettes into 2cm dice and cut the onions into thick slices. Drain the chickpeas. Place the veggie onto the large tray, including the chickpeas before coating well with the harissa paste. Season with salt and pepper. Place the tray into the oven to bake for 15 minutes while you make the meatballs.

Step 3

Add the lamb mince to a large bowl. Season with ground cinnamon, ground cumin, ground coriander, chopped apricots, garlic paste, and season with salt and pepper. Mix the lamb with your hands until the meat is well combined with the seasonings. Wet your hands before rolling the lamb mince into 12-16 meatballs, which should be roughly golf ball size. Remove the roasting veggies from the oven, place the rolled lamb meatballs in and around the veggies and pop back into the oven for a further 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Make the garlic yoghurt. Into a small bowl add the Greek style yoghurt, the garlic paste, lemon zest, juice and half of the chopped mint (if using).

Step 5

Serve the traybake with the garlic yoghurt drizzled over the top and the remaining mint leaves (if you like).
