READY IN: 25 MINUTES 

SERVES:  4

INGREDIENTS:

• 250g minced lamb
• 50g white breadcrumbs
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
• Dash of Tabasco sauce
• 1 level tsp ground coriander
• 1 level tsp ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 mini pitta bread, to serve
• For The Dressing:
• ½ x 200g carton Greek yogurt
• ¼ of a cucumber, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Place the minced lamb in a bowl and add the other ingredients and mix well. Divide the mixture into 12 and shape each into a ball.

Thread the balls onto skewers. Cook the lamb balls under a hot grill for 10-15 mins, turning them occasionally so they cook through.

To make the dressing: Tip the yogurt into a bowl and stir in the cucumber and seasoning.

Warm the pitta bread before serving. Slit open the bread and fill each with 3 balls of lamb and spoon on some of the dressing. Alternatively, serve the lamb still on the skewers with the pitta bread and dressing. (Not suitable for freezing).
