Serves 4

Ingredients
    750g lamb mince
    1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
    1 brown onion, grated
    1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
    1/4 cup mild curry paste
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    2/3 cup mint leaves, finely chopped
    2/3 cup thick, natural yoghurt
    1 Lebanese cucumber, finely diced
    olive oil cooking spray
    4 naan breads, halved
    100g baby spinach leaves, to serve

Method
Combine mince, breadcrumbs, onion, lemon rind, curry paste, egg and half the mint in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Using clean hands, mix until well combined. Using 1/4 cup mixture at a time, roll mixture into 16 balls. Flatten slightly. Place rissoles on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, if time permits.

Combine yoghurt, cucumber, remaining mint and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat a greased barbecue plate on medium-low heat. Spray both sides rissoles with oil. Cook, turning occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Spray both sides naan with oil. Barbecue for 1 to 2 minutes each side or until toasted. Serve rissoles with toasted naan, minted yoghurt and spinach.
