Ingredients 

250g lean minced Scotch Lamb

400g can cooked chickpeas, drained

1tsp ground cumin

1tsp ground coriander

2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

Pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper

100g cucumber, chopped

200g cherry tomatoes, chopped

1 small red onion, peeled and chopped

15g fresh coriander, chopped

You can use crushed cooked frozen peas instead of chickpeas if you prefer. You could also try the recipe with lean minced beef. Add chopped mint and cucumber to yoghurt for a dressing, or mix together equal parts of low fat natural yoghurt and reduced fat hummus for a tahini sauce.

Cooking Method

How it's done:

  • Put the lamb in a bowl. Crush 100g chickpeas with a fork, and add to the lamb along with the spices, garlic and some seasoning. Mix well, then shape into 12 balls. Cover and chill until required.

    1
  • Mix the remaining ingredients together with the remaining chickpeas. Season lightly. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

    2
  • When ready to cook, preheat the grill to a medium/hot setting. Arrange the meatballs on the grill rack and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until browned all over and cooked through.

    3
  • To serve, pile the salad on to wraps or flat breads, top with the lamb balls and serve with low fat hummus and salad.
