Cold Pork Kebabs

Cold Pork Kebabs

A while ago there was an on-line conversation about ‘misspent younger years’. My contribution was as follows….

“Well over 20 years ago I had been to a gig in the pub I frequented as two of the bands I had mates in were playing. It was a great night and I’d probably had a pint or two too many. On the way home I ambled into the local kebab shop. At some time after 3am I awoke in the alley by the kebab shop. Stood up, leaning against the wall and still clutching a very cold half eaten kebab!

So the local supermarket have a special offer on Pork at the moment. The joint we had was way too big for one meal for the two of us and the cat. The following day we decided to cut out a few bits & bobs from the 20+ year old gig….

(1) No kebab shop required.
(2) No stood up sleeping required.
Cold sliced Pork kebabs are actually pretty cool. Salad, cheese (I got for tubs on this cubed Cheese for 14p each – Yellow Sticker gig!) Mayonnaise, crackling. Gluten free Pitta Breads. A pretty tasty gig for next to nothing!
(3) No greasy cold Lamb required.

Lamb Kofta Wraps

I don’t often frequent the local Co-Op in the evening, but it’s probably worth sticking my head in a little more often. This Lamb mince was supposed to be £4.70 a pack, which I simply wouldn’t pay. But at £1.66 a pack it made the foundation for a real treat for us.

Ingredients for the Mayo Dressing:-

Mayonnaise
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 tsp of Whole Grain Mustard
A Squeeze of Lemon juice.

Method:-

(1) Mix well.
(2) Set aside.

500g of Lamb Mince

1 Tsp of Chilli Flakes
1 Tsp Pepper Corns
1 Tsp Cumin powder
1 Tsp Coriander Powder
Juice of ½ a Lemon
1 Tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt
Oil

Salad leaves to dress.

Method:-

(1) In a Pestle & Mortar grind the dry ingredients.
(2) In a large bowel combine the chopped Onion and minced Garlic, minced Lamb, Oil and dried ingredients.
(3) Form into four Koftas around skewers.
(4) Grill on a medium heat turning regularly until cooked through and browned on all sides.
(5) Dress the inside of the wraps (Gluten free in our case) with a coating of the Mayo Dressing.
(6) Add a layer of salad leaves.
(7) Remove the Kofta from the skewer and place in the centre leaving space at one end to fold.

We had Cajun Potato wedges with ours, the remain salad mix and the Mayo dressing to dip. Who needs a take away in a cold damp archway on the way home?!
