Lamb & Halloumi Kebabs

I take no credit for these - they're from one of those recipe cards you can have for free from Sainsburys. We picked the card up for something different to have on the BBQ and they were delicious. We altered the recipe very slightly as Rhys doesn't like mint and they worked just as well (I ate mine with mint sauce as a dip!)



Ingredients:
Wooden skewers (8)
250g new potatoes
1 onion
1 crushed clove garlic
350g lamb mince
15g fresh mint
1 egg yolk
25g breadcrumbs
150g halloumi
1 courgette
Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions:
1. Put the skewers in water to soak for at least 30 minutes. This will stop them from burning when you're cooking the kebabs. Obviously you don't need to do this if they're metal skewers, but be careful when cooking as they'll get very hot!

2. Parboil the new potatoes for about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Once cool, cut them in half.

3. Finely chop the onion. Add FryLight (or oil) to a frying pan and cook the onion for 5 mins. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 mins.

4. Allow the onion and garlic to cool and place in a mixing bowl. Add the mince, mint (if using), egg yolk and breadcrumbs and mix well. Season as desired.

5. Cut the halloumi into fair sized chunks - don't make them too small as they have the tendency to crumble when threaded - and thickly slice the courgette.

6. Roll the mince mixture into balls. Thread onto the soaked skewers with the potatoes, courgettes and halloumi.

7. Brush the lemon zest over the kebabs mixed with 1/2 tbsp olive oil if desired. Cook on the BBQ or under the grill for 15 minutes turning once or twice until cooked through.
