Method
Copy TextIn a large bowl mix the lamb, oil, garlic, thyme leaves, turmeric, cumin and seasoning. Mix together, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While it is marinating remove the stalks from the aubergines and prick a few times. Place in a large dish, cover and cook in the microwave on high for 12 minutes. They should be nice and soft. Leave until cool enough to handle.
Meanwhile, mix the yoghurt with the mayonnaise, oil and mint. Season to taste.
Chop the peppers into 2.5 cm chunks. Cut the aubergines in two and remove the flesh with a spoon. Place in the bowl of a blender; add the oil, lemon juice and parsley. Blend just until you have a smooth creamy mixture. Season to taste.
Make kebabs alternating the lamb and pepper. Grill on all sides or on the barbecue for 5-6 minutes. Serve with the two sauces and steamed new potatoes.
