Lamb kebabs 
500g lamb mince - $8.50

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil till transparent.  Add to all other ingredients and mix well. Shape into sausages and push a skewer through the centre. Cook under the grill til nice and brown.(makes 8)

Yoghurt sauce:
1 tablespoon plain yoghurt ( I use greek style)
1 tablespoon coriander paste

Mix together well.

Pear galette:
2 sheets puff pastry
3 medium pears - peeled and sliced thinly
some milk for glazing
some jam (warmed) for glazing  ( I am using apple and kiwi jelly at the moment but apricot would work well too)

Place one sheet of puff pastry onto baking slide and brush the edges with milk.  Cut the centre out of the second sheet leaving a 2 cm border.  Place onto the first sheet and brush the edges with milk. Place the pear slices ,overlapping, into the centre well. Brush with jam and bake in a 200c oven for approx 20 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden.  Serve with cream.

Eat well, Live well!
