Method

  1. Step 1

    Cut lamb into 2cm pieces and place in a large bowl with the oregano, lemon rind and oil. Season. Set aside for 5 mins to develop the flavours. Thread onto 8 metal or soaked bamboo skewers.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a barbecue grill on high. (Alternatively, prepare a camp fire and heat a heavy-based flameproof frying pan over low embers.) Cook skewers, turning, for 10 mins or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a clean large bowl and set aside for 5 mins to rest.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle skewers with honey, lemon juice and any lamb juices. Divide bread among plates with hommus. Top with tomato, cucumber, skewers and parsley.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Use it up:
Make herb butter with some leftover parsley – finely chop and mix with butter, then spread on crusty bread slices and cook over the camp fire.

Smart swap: Cooking for vegetarians? Take a packet of falafel balls with you to offer as a tasty meat-free filling for the pitas.
