HARISSA LAMB KEBABS WITH A BEETROOT HUMMUS

Steps:

• Chop the lamb into chunky cubes.
• Combine the sliced onion, 1 clove of garlic, harissa paste, oregano, rosemary and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create a marinade. Mix this in with the lamb and season with a pinch of salt.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• To make the hummus blend together the beetroot, chickpeas, tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 clove of garlic and lemon juice to form a thick paste. If the mixture struggles to blend, add some more olive oil.
• Thread the meat onto your metal skewers, alternating with large chunks of onion, pepper and whole mushrooms (cut the mushrooms if they are too big).
• If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for around 15 minutes prior to using them.
• Heat your grill pan on a medium to high heat and add your skewers. Cook for around 2 to 3 minutes each side.
• For an oven cook, preheat your oven to 180°C, place your skewers on a baking tray layered with tin foil and cook for 35 to 40 minutes turning halfway through.
• Serve the kebabs hot with a spoonful of hummus and some mixed green leaves.
