Makes 4 serves

Ingredients

  • 450g lamb mince
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 70g raw cashews, finely ground
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large or 2 small kohlrabi, peeled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • ⅛ tsp chilli flakes
  • 3 tbsp parsley, finely chopped, plus extra sprigs to serve
  • 3 sprigs of mint, finely chopped

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix the lamb mince with the egg yolk, ground cashews, cinnamon, cumin, coriander and season. With damp clean hands, roll the mince mixture into balls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. To make the kohlrabi rice, cut the kohlrabi into cubes and chop finely in a blender to create a rice. Or grate with a grater. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and sauté the kohlrabi, shallot and garlic until soft. Season with chilli flakes and salt.
  3. Thread three lamb meatballs onto each pre-soaked wooden skewer. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil at a high heat, fry skewers until crisp, and then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the parsley and mint leaves with the kohlrabi mixture. Serve lamb meatball skewers with kohlrabi rice, extra parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
