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!

Strip the mint leaves from their stems and chop them finely

Add 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil and squeeze in the juice of 1/2 [1] lemon, season with a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up – this is your tabbouleh
