Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 600g lean lamb, cut into large cubes (lamb can be substituted with lean beef cubes)
• A little olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large baguette
• 1 packet lamb’s lettuce or other salad leaves

For the minty dressing:

• About 30g fresh mint, stalks removed
• About 15g fresh parsley, stalks removed
• 1 tablespoon coarse-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4-5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 metal or bamboo skewers

Method:

1. Heat the grill to its highest setting.
2. Coat the cubes of meat in a little olive oil and season well. Thread 3-4 pieces onto each skewer and grill them for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

To make the minty dressing:

1. Put all the dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender and whizz them together.
2. Cut the baguette into 4 equal pieces, and then split each lengthways. Spread a little of the minty dressing inside the bread, then fill with lettuce leaves and the hot grilled lamb.
