150 g greek yoghurt

500 g lamb mince

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp ground coriander

Cut the red onion in half. Finely dice one half and cut the other half into very thin slices. Put the slices in a  bowl add the lime and toss to coat. Leave to macerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
