Instructions
1
Prep
Combine ground lamb, onion, parsley, garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper in a bowl; work together with your hands until evenly mixed and slightly tacky.
2
Chill
Cover and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes so the meat firms up and grips the skewer.
3
Grill
Brush bell pepper with olive oil and lay with two skewers of formed lamb on a hot charcoal grill. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until charred and firm with no pink juices.
4
Plate
Slide lamb onto a plate with grilled peppers. Whisk yogurt, garlic and half the lemon juice together. Toss cucumber with remaining lemon juice and mint. Serve with yogurt sauce.
