    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Combine lamb, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, the first measure of olive oil and oregano. Refrigerate and marinate for 1-2 hours if possible.

    2 While lamb is marinating make yoghurt sauce. Combine yoghurt, mint and the remaining garlic clove. Cover and set aside.

    3 To make courgette salad, combine courgette ribbons with vinaigrette made with the second measure of olive oil and lemon juice. Set aside.

    4 Remove lamb from fridge. To make kebabs, thread lamb onto skewers, alternating with capsicum and eggplant pieces.

    5 Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat a large grill plate or barbecue to a medium-high heat and spray lightly with oil. Place kebabs on grill and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until lamb is brown and cooked through and eggplant tender.

    6 Meanwhile, place pita bread in oven and heat for 2-3 minutes or until slightly crisp.

    7 Remove kebabs from heat, cover with tinfoil and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve with pita bread, yoghurt sauce and courgette salad.

    Variations

    • Mix up the veges for recipe variation — just make sure all skewered items are cooked evenly: try white button mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets.
    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free pita bread and check yoghurt is gluten free.
    • Make it vegetarian: Use marinated firm tofu cubes (gluten free if necessary) instead of lamb.

    HFG tip

    Make sure that capsicums, eggplant and lamb are the same size so they cook evenly.
