Step 1
Toss lamb with lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 tbsp oil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let sit 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat remaining 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and just starts to smoke.
Step 3
Thread lamb and onion onto skewers (or cook directly in skillet). Sear 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should char.
Step 4
Transfer skewers to a plate. Drizzle with herb oil (fresh parsley and dill stirred into a bit of olive oil if you have it).
Step 5
Serve hot with warm pita, tzatziki, and a squeeze of lemon.
