Lamb Kabobs with Avocado Salsa

These kabobs are great for barbecues, or even as a quick family meal idea.

Recipe Ingredients:

Kabobs:
1/2 pound minced lamb (chop in a food processor)
3 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs (make in a food processor or blender or crumble by hand)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
1 large egg beaten
Salt and ground black pepper

Salsa:
1 small avocado
Juice of half a lime
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 tomatoes, chopped - don't need to skin them or chop them finely
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander or cilantro

4 pitas for accompaniment

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine all the ingredients for the kabobs and divide mixture into 4 parts. Shape into sausage shapes around the 4 skewers. If the kabobs are not required immediately chill the skewers of meat until required.
2. Grill or barbecue for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning until brown and cooked through.
3. Meanwhile combine all the ingredients for the salsa, season well.
4. Heat the pitas and split length-ways. Fill with salsa and the grilled kabobs.

Makes 4 servings.

Note: If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least an hour before hand and this will stop them burning when you grill or barbecue them.
