Cooking Time:10 minutes

Makes: 2 large serves (or two serves plus leftovers)

Ingredients

Spice Mix
1 teaspoon (tsp) coriander seed
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1/2 tsp fennel seed
Fresh or dried chilli to your taste
1 tablespoon (tbsp) chopped ginger
2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp almonds (ground, flaked or crushed)
Fresh coriander, parsley & oregano (experiment with herbs YOU like or have at hand)

Kebabs
500 g lamb mince (you can substitute any red or white meat)
1 free range egg
Gluten-free maize flour for rolling

Fresh herbs and spices make this dish come alive


Method

  • Dry roast coriander, cumin and fennel seeds until the kitchen smells like a meditteranean bazaar.

  • Dry roast seeds until fragrant


  • Place seeds and other spice mix ingredients in a mortar and pestle and 'smash up' until all ingredients are well mixed.

  • Smash up spice mix my favourite step


  • Using wet hands, combine spice mix with beaten egg and lamb, measure out in 6 x 100g hamburger size balls (Yes, they make great hamburger patties!) on to floured surface.

  • Measure out on floured surface


  • Keeping hands wet, on floured cutting board, roll out into 'fat sausage' size fingers, skewer with stainless steel (or wood skewers soaked in water).

  • Roll out and skewer


  • You're nearly there! Refrigerate skewers for at least one hour. Time to relax with a glass of Mendoza Malbec, and fire up the BBQ.

  • Cook on a medium hotplate, turning only once per side


  • Cook for 3 minutes per side medium rare or more to you liking. Rest Pincho on a warm plate while you plate up the vegies or salad. Enjoy!

  • Ole


    These make great picnic fare or leftovers for a couple of days.
