Lamb Kebabs on Rosemary Skewers. Quick and easy Barbecue dinner.

Quick and easy Barbecue dinner. It’s no secret that summer is the perfect time to break out the barbecue and get your grill on.
Lamb kebabs on rosemary skewers, charred sweet capsicum, juicy asparagus and zucchini, smoky pita bread, and garlic yoghurt. Best served with homemade flatbread!

Our rosemary bushes are out of control, we decided to keep a bunch of rosemary stalks after trimming to use them for BBQ. Lamb and rosemary is an amazing combo.

Additionally, the fresh rosemary sticks are a great source of the smoke. They add that beautiful smoky flavour in case you are using a gas grill.

A low fat and refreshing sauce based on Greek yoghurt goes well with grilled lamb, vegetables and pita bread. Acidic yoghurt is the secret weapon for flavours, it makes the taste richer and brings the balance to the dish.
