Instructions
- To serve, fill each warmed pitta bread with one tablespoon of the Greek-style yoghurt, a splash of chilli sauce and one handful of the dressed mixed salad. Place a kebab inside each filled pitta and serve.
- Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the lamb mince, raisins, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and chopped mint. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix until well combined.
- Divide the kebabs mixture into six equal-sized portions. Mould around six metal skewers, leaving 5cm/2in free at the end of each. Brush each kebab all over with the remaining vegetable oil.
- Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the kebabs and cook, occasionally turning and basting with the melted butter, for 6-8 minutes, or until golden-brown griddle marks appear on the kebabs and they are completely cooked through.
