30 mins prep10 mins cook40 mins total
Toss the lamb with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, half the lemon zest and juice, the salt and black pepper. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
Mix the blue cheese, soured cream, parsley and the remaining lemon juice into a spoonable dressing.
Thread the lamb onto skewers. Heat a barbecue or grill until hot, then cook the skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through.
Brush the courgettes with the remaining oil and grill for 3–4 minutes per side. Add the lettuce cut-side down for the final 1–2 minutes, until lightly charred.
Rest the lamb for 3 minutes, then serve with the blue cheese dressing, grilled vegetables and any remaining parsley.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water before cooking so they do not scorch. Rest the lamb for a few minutes before serving.
