An easy, speedy summer recipe with bags of flavour. If you don’t have skewers, simply fry the diced lamb in a large frying pan.
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
To make the kebabs, trim any tough sinew or large pieces of fat from the lamb steaks and cut into 3cm dice. Mix with the cumin seeds, half the olive oil, a pinch of salt and some black pepper and thread onto the skewers.
Set a griddle pan or large frying pan over medium heat and cook the kebabs for 10 minutes, turning a few times, until browned on all sides and cooked through. The meat will be pink, so if you prefer lamb more well done cook for another 2-3 minutes. Set aside to rest whilst you make the salad.
Whilst the lamb is cooking, deseed and dice the cucumber and tomatoes, finely chop the parsley and add to a large bowl alongwith the lemon zest and juice, remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Warm the pittas in the toaster or the oven.
Bring the lamb kebabs, salad, warmed pitas and tzatziki to the table for everyone to help themselves to.
