Preparation

Step 1

Mix 1 x minced garlic clove, lamb mince, salt, pepper & 1 tsp ground cumin. Shape into meatballs of roughly 6cm diameter

Step 2

Fry until cooked through - around 10 minutes. Transfer to a covered dish to rest.

Into the same pan that you fried the meatballs, add the rice, the other minced clove of garlic and another tsp of ground cumin. Fry lightly for 30 seconds

Step 4

Add the 1ltr lamb stock and bring to a boil. Leave to bubble away for 12 minutes.

Step 5

Whilst the rice is cooking, finely chop the mint and put to one side.

Step 6

Whilst the rice finishes cooking, grate and collect the lemon rind, and add the juice of the lemon.

Step 7

Once the rice is nearly cooked, add the fresh peas and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the rice & peas from the heat. Add the meatballs, mint and lemon, and mix.

For an extra edge of deliciousness, serve with dollops of Tsatsiki.
