Method

Drizzle the lamb with olive oil and season. Set aside.
Put the beetroot in a large bowl with the yogurt, herbs, cumin and coriander. Season well and stir to combine, then set aside.
Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Thread the lamb cubes onto 4 skewers. When the pan is smoking hot, cook the lamb skewers for 1-2 minutes on all 4 sides for medium-rare (or until done to your liking). Remove from the pan and rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the skewers with the beetroot slaw and coriander leaves.
