Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 red pepper, roughly chopped
  • 1 red onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 7/10 lb lamb mince (20% fat)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste or pepper paste
  • 3 tsp pomegranate molasses
  • 6 tsp Turkish pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp sumac
  • 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • salt
  • 0.42 cup tahini
  • 0.42 cup water
  • 0.5 juice of a lemon
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • pinch of salt
  • flat breads
  • salad

Instructions

  1. Chuck the pepper, onion and garlic into a food processor and blitz until you have a fine salsa. Pour into a sieve over a bowl. Give it a mix and then let it sit for 5 minutes to strain off the juices.
  2. Pre-heat the grill to high. Pop the lamb into a mixing bowl. Add the veggies, tomato puree, pomegranate molasses, Turkish pepper flakes, sumac, black pepper and a good pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Line and oil a 24x32 baking sheet and add the lamb mix. Spread out evenly and then shape into 6 kebabs. Make sure they are just separated then pop under the grill for 8-10 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and charred on top.
  4. Whilst that cooks, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon, garlic and a pinch of salt until creamy.
  5. Spoon the juices over the cooked kebabs just before serving with bread, salad and plenty of tahini dressing.
