It’s almost our Greek Easter time and I’m excited!!! We LOVE Easter in our family and of course it’s always a food celebration. These lamb skewers or baked vegetables are a Papou and yiayia special, and you just know they’re going down a TREAT! @australianlamb has got us covered this easter, and I’ve come to you with a REALLY easy few dishes that you can bring if you're on dish duty. Baked vegetables, with a delicious grated tomato over the top to keep it from drying out and a delicious lamb skewer that you can make into small little bite ones or the big, main serve ones :)

Baked vegetables

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
To a large mixing bowl, add all vegetables and season with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley and top with the grated tomato. Mix well to ensure everything is well coated.
Pour onto a tray and bake in the oven for 1 hour or until vegetables are tender. Halfway through, give the vegetables a mix to ensure they cook evenly.
Serve with lamb skewers

Lamb Skewers

Soak skewers in water for as long as you can (this helps them not burn on the BBQ!)
Remove excess fat from the lamb shoulder, and slice into bite sized pieces. This may take some manoeuvring, so take your time in getting the right pieces.
Add to a bowl with the lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil, and season with fresh rosemary, salt, pepper and dried oregano. Season to your liking - lamb is a really flavourful meat and takes on whatever you give it, so don’t be shy here!
Begin to skewer the meat, adding however much you like per skewer. If you wanted to get a little more vegetables in, you can switch each piece of lamb, with a piece of a vegetable like capsicum or zucchini, and then repeat with the lamb so you have a more colourful skewer.
Once all finished, cook on a BBQ of your choice (coal or gas) until lightly pink in the middle.
Squeeze the kept lemon half over the skewers and serve with the vegetables.
