How about mini lamb koftas, with a tzatziki dip alongside:

600g minced lamb
1 small onion, finely grated
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
dash of lemon juice
Sea salt and black pepper

Mix the meat with the onion, cumin, coriander, mint, lemon juice, sea
salt and pepper, squishing it with your hands. Shape the meat into
spheres the size of walnuts. Grill or fry for 10 minutes, turning often.
You could skewer these on toothpicks after cooking if you wanted to make
it even easier for the big knobs to eat/dip.

I don't have a recipe for tzatziki but it's essentially a dip made of
Greek yoghurt with mint, cucumber and garlic - there must be gazillions
of recipes out there :-)
