Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Barbecue or cast iron griddle
  • You also need 6 skewers to thread the kebabs onto. If using wooden ones soak them in water for an hour so they don’t burn on the grill.

Ingredients

  • 600 g lamb leg steaks cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 6 shallots peeled and quartered through the root
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

To serve

  • 6 flatbreads or wraps or pitta bread
  • tzatziki
  • slices of tomato and cucumber

Method

  • Add the lamb to a bowl and mix together with the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic and oregano. Season with a good grind of salt and pepper, stir well and cover with cling film. Leave to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours or longer if you have time.
  • When you are ready to cook you need to heat a barbecue until its really hot. You can also cook these inside on a cast iron griddle, preheated on the hob until smoking-hot.
  • Thread the lamb and shallot quarters onto the skewers and grill for about 8-9 minutes, turning a few times so they cook evenly.
  • Whilst the kebabs are cooking, warm the flatbreads or pittas by wrapping them in foil and laying on the grill bars, or warming in the oven.
  • To serve, use a fork to pull the meat and shallot from each skewer and onto the centre of each flatbread or stuff inside a pitta. Top with a little tzatziki and a cucumber and tomato salad and tuck in.
