Method

In a large bowl, toss together the lamb, olive oil, cumin, cinnamon, sugar, garlic, seeds and some salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Thread the lamb, lemons and chillies onto 14 skewers and grill under a high heat for 5-8 minutes, turning until browned but still a little pink in the centre.
Serve 3 skewers per person, with the tzatziki, flatbreads and salad. Set aside the remaining 2 skewers to cool for tomorrow’s lunch.
