Thread the lamb with the vegetables onto 6 short metal or wooden skewers (previously soaked in water for 20 minutes). Cook under a preheated moderate grill, on a prepared barbecue or on the hob in a frying pan for 12-16 minutes, turning once, until any meat juices run clear.

Transfer the kebabs to a warm plate and serve with potato wedges and the cucumber salsa.
