Sheek Kebabs

I love these, and if you've been to mine for dinner you've probably had the pleasure as they make a great starter either served up with a little side salad or as part of a mixed platter to dig into. If you've got a food processor these are dead easy to prepare. 500g Lean minced lamb
4 green chillies deseeded
3 cloves garlic
2cm cube fresh ginger, pealed
1 pinch Turkish saffron
1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp mint sauce
2 tbsp tandoori paste
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder
1 egg white
½ cup plain flour
Place the chillies, garlic, ginger, coriander with the mint sauce and lemon juice in a food processor and blitz. Add the minced lamb in batches and keep mixing to combine.

Add all the remaining ingredients except for the flour and blend to a smooth paste. Finally add the flour a little at a time and combine.

Shallow fry a teaspoon of the mixture to test the spicing / seasoning adding extra chilli powder to the mixture to taste.

Set the mixture aside and refrigerate for an hour.

To cook dived the mixture into 10. Roll each piece into a sausage shape and arrange on a baking tray. Place into a preheated oven at 190C for 30 mins. After 30 mins drain the fat from the baking tray and return the kebabs to the oven for a further 10 mins.

Serve with green salad, sliced tomato, lemon wedges and mint yoghurt.
