This tantalising, crowd-pleasing platter brings together a mix of classic Middle Eastern mezze favourites. You'll make a simple herby tabbouleh, subtly spiced lamb kofte meatballs and a fresh cucumber and mint tzatziki to serve with crisp wholemeal pitta. Totally a-mezz-ing, and ideal as a sharing supper!
