Steps:
- Place the nuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse until finely chopped but not pasty. Transfer the nuts to a small dry skillet over medium heat; cook, stirring frequently, until the nuts are lightly browned and fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the nuts into mixing bowl large enough to hold all of the ingredients, and set aside to cool. (Don't leave the nuts in the pan, as the residual heat may cause them to burn.)
- Place the onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro in the bowl of the food processor (no need to clean it first). Pulse until the vegetables are finely minced but not puréed. Set a fine sieve over a medium bowl. Transfer the minced vegetables to the sieve and use a rubber spatula to press out as much liquid as possible. Add the strained vegetable mixture to the bowl with the nuts.
- To the veggies and nuts, add the lamb, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, salt, and white pepper. Using your hands, mash the mixture together until evenly combined.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Form the mixture into patties about 2 inches in diameter and ½-inch thick (they will puff up on the grill to look like meatballs). Place on the baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates. Place the kofta on the grill and cook, covered, until browned, about 4 minutes per side or until cooked through. Serve with tzatziki and hummus.
- Note: If you like your kofta spicy, reserve some of the seeds from the jalapeño pepper and add them with the vegetables. Also, be sure to wash your hands well after handling hot peppers, and do not touch your eyes while working with them.
- Make-Ahead: The patties can be made and refrigerated up to two days ahead of time.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The uncooked patties can be frozen for up to three months. (Freeze the patties on a baking sheet or plate so their shape sets, then transfer them to a sealable plastic bag for easy storage.) Defrost the burgers overnight in the refrigerator prior to serving and then cook as directed.

Steps:
- Add the 1 tbsp of olive oil to a frying pan (or skillet) and heat over a medium heat.
- Add in the finely diced onion and fry for 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally until the onion softens and starts to caramelise.
- Add in the 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds stirring continuously.
- Place the onion and garlic in a bowl and allow to cool.
- In a mixing bowl add the minced lamb and the remaining kofta ingredients along with the cooled onion and garlic mixture.
- Mix together until thoroughly combined.
- Shape the mixture into koftas on skewers with wet hands (we're using wet hands to help ensure the mixture doesn't stick to you). Squeeze them quite tightly to the skewers (see note 1 and 2).
- Cook the koftas on a griddle or BBQ on medium to high heat for around 5-7 minutes, turning 3-4 times during cooking (see note 3). When turning it's a good idea to have a set of tongs handy, as the meat needs a bit of extra support when turning initially - as it's quite delicate.
- Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with some flatbreads, yoghurt dip and a sprinkling of fresh coriander.

Steps:
- Put the lamb in a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly. If the lamb is not properly mixed, the kofta will fall apart on the skewer.
- Form the lamb into small patties about the size of a walnut. Mold the patties tightly around a long skewer so they form small oval shapes. Four or five will fit on a skewer.
- Heat a broiler or charcoal coals and when hot, grill the kofta, turning once, until they are golden brown, for about 6 minutes.

Steps:
- For the tahini-yogurt sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, salt, lemon zest and juice and 1 tablespoon water. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator.
- For the pickled turnips: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 1/2 cups water with the cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, bay leaves, garlic, beets and turnips. Bring to a quick boil to dissolve the sugar. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve the turnips only; discard the beets, bay leaves and pickling brine.
- For the garlic butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well. Set aside in a small bowl.
- For the lamb kofta burger: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the ground lamb, garlic, onion, parsley, allspice, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients together to evenly distribute the spices, being careful not to overmix. Divide into six equal portions and shape into a round, tight patties, about 4 inches wide.
- Place the patties on the grill, spaced 3 inches apart to prevent flare ups. Grill for 3 minutes on the first side to develop a crust. Flip, and cook on the second side until medium-well, 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Brush the cut sides of the brioche buns lightly with garlic butter and toast on the grill until golden and crisp, 5 to 10 seconds. Flip, and toast the outsides until lightly toasted, another 5 to 10 seconds.
- To assemble: Layer the bottom buns with a burger, some tahini sauce, pickled turnips, lettuce, tomato and onion. Cover with the top buns and serve immediately.

LAMB KOFTA KEBABS FROM JAMIE OLIVER
I saw this on Jamie at Home the other day and I thought, what with it being BBQ season, I'd give them a go. Unfortunately, as soon as I bought the lamb, the weather changed and I ended up cooking them in the oven. They'd definitely be better on a BBQ, but I wasn't going out in the rain! I found them quite difficult to handle without them breaking up when raw. They were easier after sitting in the fridge for a while, but you still have to be super careful. If you don't support the meat (ie if you try to pick them up with the skewer) they tend to fall right off. Try rolling them onto the BBQ - once they're cooked, they're fine! I couldn't find sumac, so I used the zest of one lemon instead, which was a good substitution.

Steps:
- Put the pistachios into a blender and chop until they're all about half size.
- Add the lamb and thyme, along with most of the cumin, chili and sumac (or lemon zest) (reserve a little for sprinkling on the made-up kebab). Add salt and pepper to season.
- Pulse until it's mixed and looks like a chunky mince. If you don't pulse, you'll end up with a puree).
- Shape onto four metal skewers, so you have four sausage shapes. Dimple the kebabs with your fingers to improve the cooked texture.
- Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to "set" the meat a little.
- Put kebabs onto a very hot barbecue and cook until nicely golden.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the sliced onion with a good pinch of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, which will take the edge off the onion.
- Just before the kebabs are ready, add the salad leaves, mint and parsley to the bowl and mix together. Add another pinch of salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and another squeeze of lemon.
- Warm your tortillas on the griddle (or in the microwave for a few seconds).
- Place a spoonful of the salad mix in the middle, top with a kebab and a dollop of creme fraiche, and sprinkle with a little of the left over spices. Drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap up and eat, delish!
