Method

  • step 1

    Combine the yogurt, garlic and spices in a large bowl, and season generously with salt. Stir through the lamb chunks until well coated, then cover and chill for at least 1 hr, or overnight.

  • step 2

    Heat the grill to high. Line the base of a large baking tray with foil and put a wire rack on top. Thread the lamb onto 12 metal skewers, brush all over with the olive oil, then arrange on the wire rack. Grill for 13-18 mins until charred, golden and juicy.

  • step 3

    Spoon the hummus over a large platter, then arrange the skewers on top (remove the meat from the skewers first, if you like). Scatter over the onion, pomegranate seeds and herbs (if you want to add candied jalapeños, see tip). Serve with flatbreads for scooping or cooked rice.

Recipe tip

Candied jalapeños Tip 125ml apple cider vinegar into a small saucepan, add 5 tbsp caster sugar and a pinch of salt, and bring to the boil. Add 4 sliced jalapeños and cook for 4-5 mins over a medium heat until beginning to soften. Remove to a small heatproof bowl using a slotted spoon. Continue to cook the liquid for 1-2 mins more over a high heat until thick and syrupy, then pour this over the jalapeños. Set aside to cool – the syrup will thicken slightly as it does. Scatter over the lamb in step 4.
Helena's tip We used lamb shoulder, but diced lamb leg would work, too.
Quick flatbreads
Mix 250g plain flour with 250g Greek yogurt, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt and a drizzle of olive oil until combined, then knead into a soft dough. Divide into balls, then roll out into rough ovals or circles. Cook in a dry frying pan for a few minutes on each side until  lightly golden and fluffy.
