  • 450 g Minced lamb (ideally more than 10% fat)
  • 4 tblsp Greek yoghurt
  • 1 large egg
  • couple handfuls fresh breadcrumbs if desperate use dried
  • 2 tblsp dried mint
  • 2 tblsp arabian spice Any mixture containing cumin, coriander, clove etc
  • couple of grinds salt & pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees c.  Prepare a large rimmed oven tray with non-stick baking paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl combine yoghurt, egg, spices, mint, seasoning and  breadcrumbs.  Add salt and pepper and mix until you have a sludgy mixture.

  3. Combine mixture with minced lamb thoroughly (its easier with hands)

  4. Separate mixture into 4 and form into rough long cylinders.  Place on baking tray and flatten out until just over a centimetre thick.  You should have four roughly rectangular flattened shapes about 5cm wide by 15cm long (this is just a rough idea)

  5. Put into the oven and cook for around 20 mins until you get browning patches on top. They are quite forgiving, an extra five minutes won't hurt.

  6. Serve with any kebab accompaniments you like, perhaps flatbread, hummus, aubergines, pickles, garlic sauce, chillies.
