Note
The original ingredient list was garbled; ensure you have cubed lamb meat suitable for skewers and approximately 300-400g of baby roma tomatoes.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.
For storage: Keep leftover lamb and lentil salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat lentils gently in a pan; cold or room temperature yogurt dressing is best added fresh.
You can substitute chicken thighs or beef cubes for the lamb if preferred.
