Ingredients

  • 260g pack 4 lamb & mint kebabs
  • 300g pack No.1 Houmous with Roasted Butternut & Dukkah
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
  • 1 pack 2 hand-stretched flatbreads

For the salad

  • ½ x 90g pack pomegranate
  • ½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves only, roughly chopped
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced
  • ½ lemon, juice, more to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, more to taste
  • ¼ tsp salt

Method

  1. Make the salad. Add the pomegranate seeds, most of the parsley leaves and the red onion to a small bowl, then season with the lemon juice, oil and salt. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.

  2. Warm a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Break the meat off the skewers into the hot pan, then flatten and spread out for even cooking. Don’t touch the lamb for 2 minutes or so, letting it caramelise and crisp up. Stir to finish cooking on the other side for about 2 minutes, until the meat is charred and cooked through with no pink meat remaining. Season with a pinch of sea salt.

  3. Spread the houmous in the middle of a large plate, and use the back of a spoon to make a dent for the toppings. Top with the charred lamb, then the pomegranate and parsley salad. Add a few more whole parsley leaves, then drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the dip and around the plate. Serve with the warmed flatbreads.

Cook’s tip

Try this with a pack of 4 Middle Eastern Style Beef Kebabs instead, drizzled with their pomegranate glaze.
