Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp oregano, dried
- ½ tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, ground
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 500g lamb mince, 10% fat
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and chopped
- Large handful of fresh coriander, chopped
- 4 heaped tbsp of 0% fat Greek yogurt
- 4 wholemeal wraps
Method
- Peel the onion and cut in half. Finely dice half the onion and set the other half aside.
- Place the chopped onion, oregano, dried herbs, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, pepper and lamb mince in a food processor and mix together. You can also use your hands if you need to – just make sure the mixture is as smooth as possible.
- Squash the mixture together into a loaf shape and wrap tightly in foil.
- Slice the remaining onion and layer it at the bottom of the slow cooker to stop the foil sticking, before placing the foil parcel on top.
- Cook on low for 5½ hours (or around 3 hours on high). Try not to check too early to avoid it drying out.
- Once removed from the slow cooker, thinly slice the meatloaf into kebab strips.
- In the centre of each wrap, place tomato slices, pepper, kebab strips, coriander and drizzle with a tablespoon of yogurt. Wrap and enjoy!

Ingredients
- 500g chicken breasts, cubed

- 1 red pepper, deseeded, cut into large chunks
- 1 red onion, peeled, cut into large chunks
- 100g Tikka curry paste

- 250g basmati rice, rinsed
- ½ tsp turmeric
- Salt and pepper to season
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Method
- Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes (this helps to stop them burning). In a bowl, mix together the curry paste and Greek yogurt. Add the chicken cubes to the paste, making sure all pieces are nicely covered. Chill in the fridge.
- Shake off any excess marinade from the chicken and thread the chicken pieces, onion and peppers onto the skewers. If there is any marinade left, smear it over the kebabs.
- Put the skewers in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rice and fire up the barbecue.
- Bring a small pan of water to the boil. Add the rice, turmeric and seasoning to the pan and cook the rice according to the pack instructions.
- Meanwhile, grill the skewers on the barbecue for about 15-20 minutes, turning throughout until cooked and nicely browned.
- Serve the skewers on a bed of rice, squeeze over a little lime juice. Enjoy!
Tip! The kebabs can be cooked under a grill instead of a barbecue.
