Lamb and pepper skewers

These Greek-style lamb and pepper skewers are really easy to make, but you should marinate them for as long as you can (preferably overnight). The grilling only takes 10 minutes – so it’s ideal for BBQ parties, easy suppers and general get-togethers. Serve the skewers tucked into flatbread with a crispy salad – drizzled with chilli sauce and tzatziki or with coleslaw and grilled veggies.
