Yum! The seasonings are delicious on the lamb (although sea salt sprinkled on the kebabs after cooking is essential in my opinion). I love the accompaniments too. I garnished the yogurt with fresh mint and the hummus with a bit of olive oil and pine nuts.

My family loved this. I served it over rice. Easy and tastey, we broiled the meat in the oven.
