Method

Mix the lamb with the garlic, rosemary, oil and lemon zest and leave to marinate for 1 hr or overnight .

For the tzatziki, combine all the ingredients, season to taste and serve with the hot lamb.

Top Tip for making Rosemary and garlic lamb skewers

Leftover cooked lamb will keep for up to two days. Wrap well and leave in the fridge. Use to make a tomato-based curry.
