Note
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent them from burning on the grill.
For best results, ensure the lamb is cut into uniform cubes so it cooks evenly.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the feta, yoghurt, and mint together in a bowl until well combined.
Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your lamb cubes and your preferred level of doneness.
This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade.
