Method:
- Soak skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before use. If sharp, trim the ends using kitchen scissors for safety.
- Grate zucchini and carrot. Squeeze out excess liquid from zucchini using a clean cloth or paper towel.
- In a large bowl, combine lamb mince, grated vegetables, parsley and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small sausage-like logs and press gently onto each skewer, leaving space at the top. Skewer one cherry tomato onto the exposed end of each stick.
- Place prepared skewers in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly and while leaving skins on, slice into wedges.
- Place potato wedges onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Optional: Add dried or fresh herbs for flavour (approx. 1 tbsp herbs per 300g of potato).
- Preheat oven to 200°C (fan forced). Bake wedges for 25–30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- While wedges are baking, heat a frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for 5 minutes on each side or until browned and fully cooked.
- Wash cucumbers and cut into finger-length sticks.
