Ingredients

  • 500g lamb mince
  • 50g feta, crumbled
  • 1 small onion, roughly grated
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • Large handful fresh flatleaf parsley and fresh mint, finely chopped, plus extra leaves to garnish
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Vegetable oil, for cooking

For the beetroot and horseradish tzatziki

  • 100ml natural yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

  4. Cook the skewers on a hot griddle pan for 4-5 minutes, until cooked and lightly charred, turning regularly.
