You’ll notice kumara in these images, unfortunately they couldn’t come to the party, so we’ve given you tasty baby potatoes instead. Enjoy!


Ingredients

Potato Rounds

  • 600g baby potatoes
  • 1-2 teaspoons sumac (optional, adults)

Lamb Kofta

  • 550g lamb mince
  • 1 tablespoon Greek lamb spice mix
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Salad

  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tomato
  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • ½ bag baby spinach

Hummus Dip

  • 100g hummus
  • 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high (if using). Cut potatoes into 0.5cm rounds then toss on prepared tray with a drizzle of oil and sumac (if using). Season with salt and bake for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Turn once during cooking.
  2. Combine mince, Greek lamb spice mix and salt together in a medium bowl. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out lamb mixture and roll into golf ball-sized balls, then flatten slightly so they are about 1cm thick.
  3. Heat a little oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook kofta for 2-3 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through.
  4. While kofta cook, mix maple syrup, olive oil and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Dice tomato and cucumber 1cm and roughly chop baby spinach. Add all to bowl with dressing, toss to combine and season to taste. In a small bowl, combine all hummus dip ingredients.
  5. To serve, divide potato rounds, lamb kofta and salad between plates. Serve with a large dollop of hummus dip on the side.
