  • 500 g Coles lamb mince, keep the packaging

  • 1 brown onion, ½ finely diced, ½ cut into thin wedges 

  • ½ red capsicum, finely chopped 

  • ½ cup walnuts, finely chopped 

  • ¼ bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped 

  • ¼ bunch mint leaves, half chopped, half whole leaves 

  • 2 tsp ground cumin 

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon 

  • sea salt and pepper to taste 

  • 400g can Coles chickpeas, drained 

  • 1/3 cup Jalna Greek yoghurt

  • 4 warm flatbreads to serve 

Tomato Dressing

  • 2 large ripe vine tomatoes

  • 1 small clove garlic, finely minced 

  • 1 tsp ground sumac, split into 2 

  • 2 tsp harissa paste 

  • 2 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil 

Method

  • In a bowl, mix together the onion wedges with ½ tsp sumac, whole mint leaves, ripped parsley leaves, 1 tbs of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to use as a garnish. 

  • Mix the lamb mince with the diced onion, capsicum, walnuts, parsley, chopped mint, cumin, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in the plastic tray the mince came in. Using your fingers, push the mixture into the tray and then refrigerate to firm up. 

  • Heat a BBQ plate to a medium heat.

  • Turn the tray of kebab mixture out onto a chopping board and cut the mince into 4 large kebabs. Cook the kebabs for 3-4 minutes each side, or until cooked through. 

  • Grate the tomatoes on the biggest side of a box grater onto a large serving plate. Stir through the garlic, sumac, harissa, extra virgin olive oil, chickpeas and a pinch of salt.

  • Spread the tomato sauce & chickpeas all over the base of the serving plate. Top with the kebabs and drizzle over the yoghurt. Scatter with the onion and mint salad and serve with warm flatbreads.
