To cook these lamb and mint kebabs, you can use a grill, barbecue, or a frying pan. Preheat your cooking surface to a medium-high heat. Place the kebabs onto the hot grill or pan. Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning them regularly to ensure even browning and cooking throughout. They should be cooked until the lamb is thoroughly heated and has a nice char on the outside. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness. Serve hot.
