    These are really quick to make and the chickpea and apricot salad can be whipped up whilst the kabobs are grilling. This serves 2 so you can either make 8 kabob balls for a skewer each, or 16 smaller kabob balls for 2 skewers each! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/08/say-no-to-takeaway-kick-up-lamb-kabob.html

    Ingredients

    • 250g lean lamb mince
    • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 2 cloves, crushed
    • 2 tsp cumin
    • 2 tsp paprika
    • 2 tsp coriander
    • Pinch of cinnamon
    • 100g couscous
    • 150ml hot veggie or chicken stock
    • 100g chickpeas
    • 2 spring onions, chopped
    • 6 dried apricots, chopped
    • 2 tsp dried mint

    Directions

    1. In a bowl, mix the oil with the cloves and the spices.
    2. Add the lamb, celery and onion, mixing well.
    3. Form into 8 balls and thread onto 2 skewers. (Alternatively, form into 16 balls and thread onto 4 skewers!)
    4. Grill for 15 minutes, turning once.
    5. Meanwhile, pour the stock over the couscous in a bowl and cover for 5 minutes.
    6. Stir in the chickpeas, apricots, spring onion and mint.

      This is simply outstanding, Jenny! I quad the recipe because it is so good that it can be eaten cold, too. Very well done and highly company-worthy. best - Amos
