  2. Step 2

    Thread lamb and red onion chunks onto metal skewers, alternating between protein and onion.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and rest on a plate for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if you have them.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with lemon wedges, pita bread, and Greek salad on the side.
