These Lamb And Lemon Skewers are dressed with fresh lemon which adds a zesty flavour to this recipe. It combines very well with the lamb, which is why it is such a Hirsch’s family favourite. You can find this recipe and more in the “A Taste of Hirsch’s” cookbook written by Allan Hirsch inspired by his family recipes.
