Lamb Kofta Kebabs From Jamie Oliver - cooking recipe

Ingredients

500 g lamb shoulder, trimmed and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground red chili pepper
4 tablespoons ground sumac
shelled pistachios, 1 handful
mixed salad green, 3 handfuls
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 red onion, very finely sliced
1 lemon
1 bunch flat leaf parsley
extra virgin olive oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
4 tablespoons creme fraiche

Preparation

Put the pistachios into a blender and chop until they're all about half size.
Add the lamb and thyme, along with most of the cumin, chili and sumac (or lemon zest) (reserve a little for sprinkling on the made-up kebab). Add salt and pepper to season.
Pulse until it's mixed and looks like a chunky mince. If you don't pulse, you'll end up with a puree).
Shape onto four metal skewers, so you have four sausage shapes. Dimple the kebabs with your fingers to improve the cooked texture.
Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to \"set\" the meat a little.
Put kebabs onto a very hot barbecue and cook until nicely golden.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the sliced onion with a good pinch of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, which will take the edge off the onion.
Just before the kebabs are ready, add the salad leaves, mint and parsley to the bowl and mix together. Add another pinch of salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and another squeeze of lemon.
Warm your tortillas on the griddle (or in the microwave for a few seconds).
Place a spoonful of the salad mix in the middle, top with a kebab and a dollop of creme fraiche, and sprinkle with a little of the left over spices. Drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap up and eat, delish!
