Ingredients

Lamb mince, lean150 g
Weighed raw.
Aubergine220 g
One medium, sliced lengthways into 1 cm slabs.
Greek yogurt, 0% fat100 g
Pomegranate seeds30 g
Red onion40 g
Grated into the meat, squeezed of its juice first.
Olive oil5 g
Brushed on the aubergine. The lamb needs none.
Chilli flakes1 to 2 tsp
Ground cumin1 tsp
Fresh parsleyA handful, chopped
Garlic1 clove, about 3 g
SaltTo taste

Method

Knead the lamb with the squeezed onion, chilli flakes, cumin, half the parsley and salt for a full minute until it turns sticky. Press it along two flat skewers in a long strip.
Brush the aubergine slices with the oil and salt them. Grill them under a hot grill for five minutes a side until soft and charred.
Grill the skewers for four minutes a side alongside, until browned and firm to the touch.
Stir the crushed garlic into the yogurt. Lay the aubergine on the plate, the skewers on top, and spoon over the yogurt, pomegranate and the rest of the parsley.

Worth knowing

Kneading the mince until sticky is what holds it on the skewer. Under-mixed, it falls into the grill pan.
There is no bread or grain here, so the plate is 19 g of carbohydrate. Half a pitta alongside adds 75 kcal.
