Persian Kebabs with Pitta and Salad

This recipe uses a spice which I've only recently discovered in the spice aisle, Sumac.  It adds an incredible citrus tangy kick to meat.  There's something quite exotic about the flavour of this middle eastern spice (I got mine in Sainsburys) .  Let the kids stuff their warmed bread with crispy salad and minty yoghurt sauce. Great finger food for a Saturday supper! 



Ingredients
400g lamb mince
4tbsp chopped coriander
2tbsp chopped dill
4 minced cloves of garlic
1teasp ground coriander
2 teasp sumac
1teasp cumin
50g almonds, toasted in a dry pan
1 tsp salt
2tbsp sunflower oil
Pitta breads and salad. 

Method
Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl
With wet hands skewer the meat into a long sausage shape and gently press the meat around the skewer.  Brush each kebab with a little bit of oil and place on a hot griddle or under the grill for 4 minutes before turning and cooking for a following 4 minutes on the other side.
