Lamb kebabs with home-made hot chilli sauce
This meal is an adaptation of a recipe I found a while ago. It is absolutely delicious and, although a bit time consuming in the preparation, definitely worth it for the intense flavours!
The kebabs
Ingredients
The kebabs take quite a lot of separate ingredients in small quantities, but once you’ve bought them they last ages meaning you can make kebabs for a long time to come!
- 500g lamb mince
- Fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 lemon
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 green chillies, chopped and deseeded
- 1tbsp olive oil
- 2tsp grated ginger
- 1tsp cumin
- ½tsp black pepper
- 1tsp salt
- ½tsp turmeric
- ½tsp garam masala
Preparation and cooking
The preparation is surprisingly simple…
- Squeeze half of the lemon over the mince.
- Mix together the oil, garlic, ginger, chillies, salt, pepper, turmeric, cumin, garam masala, and the rest of the lemon juice.
- Pour this onto the meat and fold together, adding the chopped coriander.
- Leave to marinade for as long as you like (the longer, the better).
- Form into small, fat sausage-like kebabs.
- Place under a medium grill for 20 minutes.
The chilli sauce
This chilli sauce is great, it’s really hot and serves loads!
Ingredients
This recipe makes use of some pretty standard household ingredients.
- 100ml malt vinegar
- 100ml tomato ketchup
- 100g sugar
- 1tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 finely chopped birds-eye chillies
Preparation and cooking
This sauce cooks really quickly and easily…
- Put the vinegar and sugar in a pan together and bring to the boil over a medium heat.
- Add the chillies and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid.
- Add the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer and stir until the sauce becomes dark and thick.
Serving
Slice the kebabs and serve in hot pittas with onion, cabbage, cucumber and lettuce. Drizzle your hot chilli sauce over the top and enjoy!
