Time for our next alternative Easter lunch idea from Newman's Own. If you missed my Fiery Chicken Wings recipe earlier this week make sure you check it out! Today I have a yummy lamb recipe which will give Dad the perfect excuse to dust off the BBQ...

Minced Lamb BBQ Skewers with Pitta Pockets


If you prefer, the skewers can be placed side-by-side on a baking sheet and cooked in a 180C/350F/Gas 4 oven for 20-25 minutes until well browned on all sides.

Preparation time: 20 minutes (plus marinating)
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes
Serves: 4

Skewers:
500g (1lb 2oz) lean minced lamb
1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
4tbsp Newman’s Own Sticky Original BBQ Sauce

Pitta pockets:
4 pitta bread
2 tomatoes, chopped or sliced
100g (4oz) feta, crumbled or cut into small cubes
50g (2oz) piece of cucumber, sliced or chopped
4-6 lettuce leaves, depending on size, shredded

Method

1. Put the minced lamb, chopped shallot and 2 tablespoons of the BBQ Sauce in a bowl and stir until well mixed. Shape the mixture into small balls and thread on to 8 medium or 12 small skewers. Place in a shallow dish, spoon the rest of the BBQ Sauce over the meat and cover with cling film. Chill in the fridge for several hours or overnight until ready to cook.

2. Lift the skewers from the dish and grill or barbecue for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through, turning them over once or twice and basting or brushing with any BBQ Sauce left in the dish.

3. Toast the pitta bread lightly on each side or warm on the barbecue. Cut a slit down one side of each pitta and carefully open out to make a pocket. In a bowl, mix together the chopped tomatoes, feta, cucumber, lettuce and coriander leaves and divide between the pockets. Serve with the lamb skewers and accompany with a bowl of natural yoghurt dusted with paprika.

Tip: When shaping the meat around the skewers, press it firmly together so it doesn’t break up and fall off during cooking.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before using or cover the exposed ends with small pieces of foil to prevent them from scorching.

Infertility is not something any woman is supposed to go through in life. I will therefore recommend that you read this. I'm Sarah Weston. I'm from Wisconsin, USA. Married for 11 years with infertility, my infertility journey has ended with the help of Lord Krish Spiritual. I have joined many infertility journey blogs online, and did IVF for 2 years. I searched for solutions to my problem and never relented which has helped me to find the right connection to help me cure this devastating problem. As a patient of endometriosis stage 3, it was really difficult to have a child but with the help of Lord Krish, I got fertile and conceived within days of the herbal treatment which he sent to me through DHL and before I knew it, my womb was opened and I conceived and was finally pregnant with twins babies. I never believed it was possible after 11 years of marriage. I gave birth to twins, Dale and Diane. I want to say thank you to Lord Krish and to everyone who has helped me both mentally and emotionally through this journey. Lord Krish solved my problem for me and I promised him to manifest his work to other people and friends. His Email to reach out to him is ([email protected])
