Assembly & Cooking

Remove lamb from fridge and allow to warm to room temperature. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 min or while lamb is warming up.
If using a BBQ, smoker or fan-forced oven, preheat to 200°C or 400°F. You can also grill on the BBQ.
Assemble the skewers using the lamb, capsicum pieces and onion in order.
Cook for approximately 15 min for a medium-rare temp of 58°C or 135°F. Alternatively, cook over medium heat in a pan or skillet for 8-10 min turning regularly or over charcoal for that authentic flavour.

Notes

Low Fodmap: Omit garlic and use garlic infused olive oil. Replace onion with bite-sized pieces of spring onion, reduce the amount of capsicum and replace some with zucchini or pineapple if desired.

Vegetarian: Replace lamb with halloumi.
