Easy
Makes 20
Prep 30 mins
Cook 15 mins
Plus marinating time
Low-fat

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves , roughly chopped
knob of fresh ginger , roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
1 orange , grated zest and juice
3 spring onions , roughly chopped
2 tbsp clear honey
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 small skinless boneless chicken breast fillets , cut into cubes
20 button mushrooms
20 cherry tomatoes
2 large red peppers , seeded and each cut into 10

Method

Grind the garlic, ginger, orange zest and spring onions to a paste in a food processor. Add the honey, orange juice, soy sauce and oil, then blend again. Pour the mixture over the cubed chicken and leave to marinate for at least 1 hr, but preferably overnight. Toss in the mushrooms for the last half an hour so they take on some of the flavour, too.

Thread the chicken, tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers onto 20 wooden skewers, then cook on a griddle pan for 7-8 mins each side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Turn the kebabs frequently and baste with the marinade from time to time until evenly cooked. Arrange on a platter, scatter with chopped spring onion and eat with your fingers.

Enjoy the Middle Eastern cuisine and learn how to make Slow-cooked leg of lamb with kofta spices, pickled cucumber & peppered yoghurt. 

Chef Alyn Williams uses his butchery skills to bone, roll and roast a slow-cooked leg of lamb with Moroccan spices and cool pickled cucumber

Moderately easy
Serves 8
Prep 1 hr
Ready in 3 hours + cooling and resting

Ingredients

1 leg lamb about 2.5 kg
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp coriander seeds
½ tsp ground cinnamon
10 strands saffron
¼ tsp ground turmeric
20 leaves mint
3 garlic cloves
3 lemons zested
flakes sea salt
75ml olive oil
250ml Greek yogurt strained in a sieve for 1 hour
1 lemon juiced
to serve couscous

PICKLED CUCUMBER

1 small cucumber
125g clear honey
bunch dill chopped
50ml white wine vinegar

Method

Heat the oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Bone and trim the leg of lamb (as detailed in the step by step guide). Grind the dry spices in a spice grinder. Using a pestle and mortar or small food processor, grind the mint with the garlic, lemon and salt then slowly add the olive oil to form a loose paste.

Rub the lamb on all sides with the paste and then the spices. Roll the lamb back into its original shape and tie with kitchen string, as shown. Cook in the oven for 2 hours, turning occasionally. Turn up the temperature to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 for the last 10 minutes. Remove and rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Meanwhile,mix the yoghurt with a good grinding of black pepper, a pinch of salt, and mix with a little lemon juice.

To make the pickled cucumber, grate the cucumber on a box grater using the coarsest side. Mix with a good pinch of salt and leave to drain in a sieve for 30 minutes. Bring the honey to a boil and heat until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes, then carefully add the vinegar and leave to cool. Mix with the cucumber and the chopped dill.

Serve the pickled cucumber and peppered yoghurt with the lamb and couscous.
