Method

  • step 1

    Heat grill to high. Put the lentils into the bowl of a food processor, then whizz to a rough paste. Tip into a bowl, add the mince, coriander and plenty of seasoning, then mix well. Roll into 16 balls, thread onto 4 skewers, then grill for 10 mins, turning halfway through, until golden and juicy in the middle.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, mix the cucumber and fennel with the yogurt, garlic if using, chilli and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the kebabs.

Would have to agree with previous comments. Made for the first time last night - fell apart when moved and agree is a bit bland. Would make it again but add more mince, spice up the kebabs and tweak the salad - maybe add some mint or make a lemon/olive oil dressing instead of the yoghurt.

I followed this recipe exactly the first time round and found that the lamb/lentil balls fell apart when I tried to turn them on the skewers. The second time I made these, I used more minced lamb to the proportion of lentils and they held together much better. They weren't as dry this time either.

I took 500 g lamb, one large tin of puy and one large tin of green lentils, lots of mint, some salt and a couple egg yolks, held together nicely and tasty too.

I used tinned lentils too and though that the meatballs held their shape quite well, but I thought it was quite a bland meal and won't be making it again.
