Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Mix together the lamb mince, dried mint and spices with lots of seasoning. Shape 8 sausage-shaped koftas around 4 metal kebab skewers, put onto a baking tray and chill for 15 minutes.

Toss the peppers and onion with the olive oil and some seasoning, tip onto a baking tray and roast for 5 minutes. Add the koftas and cherry tomatoes to the tray and roast for 20 minutes or until the koftas are cooked through.
Step 3

Meanwhile, mix the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, mint and some seasoning with the lemon juice.
Step 4

Carefully remove the kebabs from the skewers and serve in a flatbread with the roasted veg, a little rocket, lemon wedges and a good spoon of the raita.
