4 tbsp apricot jam, warmed
3 tbsp houmous
150g natural yogurt

Method

Preheat the grill to medium-hot. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the mince, spice mix, spring onion and the coriander. Season. Shape into 32 balls and thread 4 onto each skewer. Grill or barbecue for 10-15 minutes, turning, until cooked. Just before they are ready, brush with the jam.
Mix the houmous and yogurt in a bowl. Season. Accompany the kebabs with pittas, salad, sliced red onion sprinkled with coriander and the houmous dressing.
