We're getting into the months of constant eating and drinking, which is obviously acceptable because it's Christmas, but we obviously know that because of that when January comes around, it's the time of healthy eating, so I thought I'd share a Pinch of Nom recipe with you which mean you can have your indulgent Doner Kebab, while still eating healthy.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

Low-calorie cooking spray

500g 5%-fat minced beef

1/2 tsp onion granules

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp garlic granules

1/4 tsp smoked sweet paprika

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried mixed herbs

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp salt

pinch of freshly ground pepper

To Serve:

Brown pitta bread

Green salad

Low-fat natural yoghurt mixed with mint sauce

This can be cooked 3 different ways, but the method I will be sharing with you is the Oven Method.

Start off by pre-heating your oven to 180C/Fan 160C/Gas Mark 4.

Next spray a 900g non-stick loaf tin with a little low-calorie cooking spray.

Place the minced beef, onion granules, ground cumin, garlic granules, smoked sweet paprika, ground coriander, dried oregano, mixed herbs, cayenne pepper and the salt and pepper into a blender, food processor or bowl and blitz the mixture until fairly smooth. I put all my ingredients into a bowl and used an hand-held blender.

Remove the mixture and place it into the loaf tin, pressing it down into the corners firmly.

Cover the tin with foil and cook in the oven for 1 hour 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes.

Once removed from the oven, leave to rest for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the tin, and slice thinly.

Once sliced, you're ready to serve, I had mine with pitta bread, salad and some yoghurt.

I really enjoyed this, it was full of flavour and was a nice fakeaway treat, the beef and the dip together were really nice. Along with the salad, I thought this dish was really refreshing and will happily make it again in the new year, to get back into healthy eating again.

It was really easy and simple to make, so definitely a dish that's easy for anyone who is a novice in the kitchen.

If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe books in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.

See you soon!
