Ingredients
- 3 tbsp mint sauce
- juice of 1 small lemon, plus wedges to serve
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 lamb steaks, cubed
- 2 small red onions, 1 cubed, 1 finely sliced
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into squares
- 250g halloumi cheese, cubed
- 2 x 410g cans mixed pulses, drained and rinsed
- small bag of rocket
Directions
-
Soak 12 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to stop them from burning during cooking. Preheat the grill to high.
-
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the mint sauce, half the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil. Add the lamb, cubed onion, red pepper and halloumi. Season and mix to coat. Cover and leave for 15 minutes, or chill overnight.
-
Put the pulses in a serving bowl with the sliced onion. Add the remaining lemon juice and oil, season and mix. Set aside, covered.
-
Thread the lamb, onion, pepper and halloumi onto the skewers, being gentle with the halloumi to avoid breaking it. Cook under the hot grill on a baking sheet lined with foil, turning halfway, until cooked through and lightly charred. Divide between plates. Stir the rocket through the pulses and serve with the kebabs and lemon wedges.
