Quantity:

Makes 5 Portions

Ingredients:

• 500g Lean Beef Mince
• 1/3 of a pack of fresh Parsley (about half a cup)
• 1/3 of a pack of fresh Coriander (about half a cup)
• 1 onion- Chopped
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Paprika
• Freshly ground Salt & Pepper

Method:

1. Heat the grill up to Medium/ High
2. Line and oven tray with foil
3. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in some water
4. Place the onion and chopped fresh herbs into a blender, or bowl if using a hand blender, and blend into a paste.
5. Add all of the other ingredients to the paste mix and using your hands mix well.
6. Take chunks of the mixture and form around the skewers in a sausage shape (see pics above) and place them on the oven tray.
7. Brush with a little oil, I used rapeseed, and place under the grill
8. Grill for 10-15 minutes on each side until cooked through

Serving Ideas:

• I served mine with bulgur wheat, with lemon juice & zest, raisins and sliced almonds stirred though it to give it a Moroccan theme! Bulgur wheat is a wholegrain, it’s protein and calorie content is similar to quinoa, but it has about 1/3 of the fat and 2.5 times the amount of fibre as quinoa per 100g, so is a great choice if you have no issues with wheat!

• I also served them with the carrot, courgette and feta bhaji’s.

• They would also go well with a greek yoghurt dip with lemon & fresh mint stirred in.
