  4. Thread the lamb onto skewers.
  5. Cook in a hot oven at 220°C for 18 to 22 minutes, turning once.
  6. Finish under a hot grill for 2 to 3 minutes to char the edges.

Notes

Leg of lamb works well here because the yoghurt marinade helps tenderise it. For BBQ cooking, use medium-high heat and turn regularly.
