Lamb alternative
Swap lamb for beef or pork mince, or use chicken or turkey mince for a cheaper, lighter option.

Hummus
Store-bought is fine, but homemade is easy: blend a jar of good chickpeas with 2 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp olive oil, a small garlic clove, a squeeze of lemon and salt. Add an ice cube for extra creaminess.

Roasted vegetables
Use any veg you fancy - courgette, red onion, carrot, sweet potato or cauliflower all work well.

The spices
Play around with Middle Eastern / Mediterranean spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, fennel seeds, dried oregano or mixed herbs.
