- 3 fillets lamb 1/3 pound each
- 8 metal or wood skewers
- 2 lbs medium-sized potatoes
- 1 bunch fresh thyme

- 12 oz yogurt 375 g
- 1-1/2 oz mayonnaise 50 g

Instructions
- Cut pumpkin into 1x1 inch diamonds. Wash and clean the zucchini squash and cut it into 1/2 inch slices. Peel the onions and cut each of them into eight wedges. Cut each of the lamb fillets into quarters. Arrange the ingredients on skewers.
- Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Remove fresh thyme leaves from the stems, chop them up and combine half of them with salt, pepper and 50 ml oil. Coat the potatoes in the oil and bake them in the preheated oven at 400 degrees F for approximately 20-25 minutes.
