METHOD

Cut lamb loin fillets into 3cm cubes. Thread 3 - 4 pieces onto each skewer and place on a baking tray. Top with lemon zest and dried oregano, season with salt and pepper. Dip rosemary sprig in olive oil and brush over all sides of meat. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine salad ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, mix together yoghurt, chopped mint and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring the grill to a medium/high heat. Grill skewers for 2 - 3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat, loosely cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes.

Serve skewers with salad, yoghurt dressing, lemon wedges and either flatbreads or boiled new potatoes.
