Culinary Columnist and Executive Chef, Paul Watters adds another delicious dish to Ravish’s Autumn Recipe Collection.

Today we have Spiced lamb skewers on a bed of chickpeas, accompanied with curry-coated cauliflower and a pomegranate drizzle. Simply Delicious…

For the Spiced lamb skewers 

300g lean minced lamb 

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon of cumin 

1/2 teaspoon of curry powder 

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder 

1/2 teaspoon of ras el hanout 

1/2 teaspoon of bahatat 

1/2 teaspoon of dried ginger 

1/2 bunch of fresh coriander (chopped)

1 cup of fine breadcrumbs 

Salt and pepper 

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate for two hours before cooking. It’s that simple…

For the Chickpeas 

2 Cans of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil 

2 red onions (peeled and Sliced fine)

For the Cauliflower 

1/2 head of cauliflower (cut into florets)

1 tablespoon of curry powder 

1 teaspoon of turmeric 

A drizzle of rapeseed oil 

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl…

The Garnish 

1 cup of pomegranate seeds 

1/2 bunch of picked Corriander 

The Method 

Firstly, preheat the oven to 180 degrees 350 Fahrenheit.

Soak the skewers in warm water and remove the minced lamb from the fridge. Shape the skewers with your hands according to the size of the skewers, further mould them onto the skewers, and repeat.

Next, you will want to place the cauliflower onto a roasting tray and cook for fifteen minutes.

Bring two frying pans to a medium heat, add a little oil over the top of the skewers and massage them. Add to the pan and cook for approximately eight minutes on each side. Once you have cooked them on one side, it’s time to add a little oil to the other pan. Add in the onions and cook for about three minutes, before adding the chickpea and reduce the heat by half. Cook for a further four minutes.

Check the Cauliflower in the oven; the texture should be firm but undercooked. Remove from the oven and place to the Side. By this stage, the Skewers will be ready, and you are ready to serve.

Gather a large plate and place the chickpeas in the middle, place the cauliflower around the plate and add the skewers on top, sprinkling a little pomegranate and fresh Corriander.

Finally, you will want to drizzle a small amount of pomegranate syrup over the top.

Serve & Enjoy
