Method

Soak 8 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the lamb, feta, onion, garlic, herbs and cumin together in a large bowl and season well. Chill.
For the tzatziki, place the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan and toast until fragrant. Toss in a bowl with the remaining tzatziki ingredients. Season and set aside to chill.
Using wet hands, shape the lamb mixture around the soaked skewers. Brush with the oil.
Cook the skewers on a hot griddle pan for 4-5 minutes, until cooked and lightly charred, turning regularly.
Serve the skewers with griddled flatbreads, red onion and lettuce. Garnish with extra herbs and spoon some beetroot tzatziki on top.
