1 Tablespoon Rosemary (chopped)
1/2 Teaspoon of Each Mixed Spice, Cumin and coriander
4 Ready Made Tortillas

200g Greek Yoghurt
2 Red Chillies (De seeded and finely chopped)
2 Tablespoons Fresh Coriander (chopped)

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
2 Mixing Bowls
1 Garlic Press
Wooden Skewers (pre soaked in water for 20 minutes)
1 Lemon/Lime Juicer

The Good Bit
  1. Pre heat your grill to high, then whilst you are waiting for that to heat up, mix together the lamb, onion and the herbs and spices from the first half of the recipe (2nd half starts with the yoghurt) Season with salt and pepper, then divide into 4 and using your hands, make sausages around 4 skewers, and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning now and then to get an even colour.
  2. Mix the rest of the ingredients from the second half of the recipe together and season. Warm up the tortillas to the packet instructions (dry fry for a few seconds on each side or microwave for about 10 seconds)
  3. Fold the tortillas into quarters and place the kebab on top then drizzle over a little chilli sauce, serve with a side of salad.
