1 Preheat chargrill. Combine mince, onion, oregano, cumin and chilli. Divide into 8 even portions. Use your hands to shape each into a smallish sausage shape.

2 Insert a skewer through the meat and squeeze firmly to secure. Chill until ready to use.

3 Boil potatoes until tender, then mash, adding milk and spread, until smooth.

4 Cook skewers for 7 minutes, turning frequently, or until cooked. Serve with mashed potato and steamed veges.

HFG tip

Another great recipe to mix and match; beef mince can be replaced with chicken, lamb or pork mince for variety.
