Spicy lamb kofta kebabs with houmous dressing recipe

The special ingredient in this healthy recipe is the houmous in the dressing - it goes perfectly with the warming, spicy meatballs.

Ingredients

500g organic lamb mince

1 tbsp Moroccan spice mix (we used Schwartz)

1 spring onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, plus extra for the salad

4 tbsp apricot jam, warmed

3 tbsp houmous

150g natural yogurt

Warm pittas, to serve (we used Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Mixed Olive Pittas)

Salad and sliced red onion, to serve

Method

1. Preheat the grill to medium-hot. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water.

2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the mince, spice mix, spring onion and the coriander. Season. Shape into 32 balls and thread 4 onto each skewer. Grill or barbecue for 10-15 minutes, turning, until cooked. Just before they are ready, brush with the jam.

3. Mix the houmous and yogurt in a bowl. Season. Accompany the kebabs with pittas, salad, sliced red onion sprinkled with coriander and the houmous dressing.
