-
Heat your barbecue for cooking
over direct heat. Very finely chop the onion and put it in
a bowl with the lamb mince, ras el hanout, harissa (if you
want a hit of chilli), coriander and mint, and season. Use
your hands to squeeze and mix everything together, then
divide the mixture into 12-16 portions and roll each one
into a ball. Mix the ingredients for the tahini sauce,
adding a splash of water if it’s a bit too thick.
-
Thread the meatballs onto
skewers, alternating them with peppers. Use two
meatballs for short skewers, and three or four for longer
ones.
-
The coals are ready when
they’re ash coloured and glowing red or cook under hot
grill. Cook the meatballs, turning the skewers every now
and then so they colour on all sides – they should take 10
mins at the most. Put the lemon cut-side down on the grill
to soften and mark it. When the skewers are cooked,
briefly barbecue the flatbreads. Serve the skewers with
the flatbreads, sauce, lemon, veg and the parsley
scattered over.
