TIPS

You will need 8 medium bamboo or metal skewers for this recipe – if using bamboo soak the skewers in cold water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Mix up the herbs and spices on the skewers – try oregano and lemon zest, Cajun spice, Chinese 5 Spice and coriander or a little paprika and parsley.
You can dice the lamb yourself (diced lamb leg or rump are great for skewers) or ask your butcher to dice it for you to save time.
