Wash the tomatoes and cut into 6 wedges each. Keep whole if using cherry tomatoes. Thread the lamb and vegetables onto metal or soaked bamboo kebab skewers separately as lamb has a longer cooking time than the vegetables. Cook the lamb kebabs on the BBQ or the griddle for 15-18 minutes and the vegetables for 10-12 minutes.
