I love Lamb, I think its so so flavourful ad takes on spices really well, and whilst I adore it slow cooked (see my Kleftiko recipe for a perfect slow cooked lamb) in summer I love it as kebabs, done in the oven, under the grill or on the BBQ they're absolutely delightful.
all they need is a simple marinade, pita, some couscous or chips and a nice salad and you'll feel like you're in the Med!
