A 495-calorie Lunch recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 250g Lean Ground Lamb (10% fat or less)
• 1 tsp Dried Mint
• 1/2 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt and Black Pepper
• 150g Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
• 1 tbsp Fresh Mint, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1 large Cucumber, peeled into ribbons
• 1/2 small Red Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 Small Wholemeal Flatbreads (approx 30g each)

Instructions

1. Prep: Pre-heat your grill (broiler) to medium-high and soak 4-6 small wooden skewers in water.
2. In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, dried mint, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix well and shape into 10-12 mini oval koftas.
3. Thread the mini koftas onto the skewers and place them on a foil-lined tray under the grill for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway until browned and cooked through.
4. While the lamb cooks, whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh mint, and lemon juice in a small bowl to create the dip.
5. Use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons from the cucumber, stopping when you reach the watery seeds.
6. Warm the flatbreads briefly under the grill or in the microwave for 20 seconds.
7. Serve the hot koftas alongside the refreshing cucumber ribbons, red onion, warm flatbreads, and a generous dollop of the mint yogurt.
