Lamb Kebab, Tzatziki and Salad Pittas

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.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Bring the lamb kebabs, salad, warmed pitas and tzatziki to the table for everyone to help themselves to.
