Method

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.

Step 2

Mix the cumin, paprika, oregano, lemon zest and juice in a shallow dish. Add the lamb, toss to coat evenly then cover and chill for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.

Step 3

Put the chips in a saucepan of boiling water over a high heat and cook for 5 minutes. Drain well, return to the pan and cover. Leave to cool slightly, then shake the pan to roughen the edges.

Step 4

Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper and arrange the chips over it in a single layer. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and a little smoked paprika, spray with a couple of pumps of low-calorie cooking spray and bake for 25 minutes or until golden.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high. Thread the lamb, onions and peppers onto 4 metal skewers and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked. (You can also cook them in a non-stick griddle pan or on the barbecue for about the same amount of time.)

Step 6

Serve hot, with the lemon wedges, salad and chips and with the mint scattered over.
