Spiced Lean Pork Kebabs With Fruity Rice And Tzatziki

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Peel and slice your red onion[s] into wedges

Chop your cherry tomatoes in half

Add your mince (remove the paper if required!), baharat and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a medium bowl and give everything a good mix up until fully combined (clean hands is the best way!)

Divide the mince mixture into 2 per person and roll into sausage shapes – these are your spiced mince kebabs

Line a baking tray (or two!) with baking paper

Add the spiced mince kebabs to one side of the tray[s]

Add the halved cherry tomatoes and red onion wedges to the other side and sprinkle over your dried oregano with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil

Give the veg a good mix up, then put the tray[s] in the oven for 18-20 min or until the kebabs are cooked through and the tomatoes have softened

Meanwhile, add your white long grain rice and sultanas to a pot with 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

While the rice is cooking, zest half your lemon[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic and strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop them roughly, discard the stems

Grate your cucumber

Add the chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), half the chopped mint (save the rest for later!) and grated cucumber to a separate bowl with your natural yoghurt and the juice of half the lemon[s] and stir it all together – this is your tzatziki

Cut the remaining lemon into 1 wedge per person

Once the veg is cooked, fluff up the rice and stir through the roasted veg, your stock mix, lemon zest, remaining chopped mint and a pinch of salt – this is your fruity rice
