Method

  • Step 1

    Begin by mixing the minced lamb, breadcrumbs, spring onion, garlic, Baharat spice and finely chopped coriander and parsley in a bowl. Add salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into four and shape evenly onto each skewer leaving 4cm at the end of the stick

  • Step 2

    Mix the aubergines with the 2 tablespoons of oil and season to taste

  • Step 3

    Insert the crisper plate into the Zone 1 drawer, spray the crisper plate with oil and place the kebabs onto the plate with each one facing in opposite directions as you go so they fit in nicely. Insert the drawer in unit

  • Step 4

    Insert the crisper plate into the Zone 2 drawer and place the aubergines inside. Insert the drawer in unit

  • Step 5

    Select Zone 1, turn the dial to select AIR FRY, set temperature to 200°C and set time to 9 minutes. Select Zone 2, turn the dial to select AIR FRY, set temperature to 200°C and set time to 15 minutes. Select SYNC. Press the dial to begin cooking

  • Step 6

    Carefully give the aubergines a turn at least twice whilst cooking so they brown evenly. Check towards the end. They may need a couple more minutes

  • Step 7

    When cooking is complete, serve hot, with warm pitta. Garnish with roughly chopped parsley and coriander and sprinkled with Aleppo pepper, if desired
