ingredients
-
Lamb Skewers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium onions, finely diced
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 2 scallions, minced (white part only)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon of fresh mint, minced
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground pepper
-
Spicy Yoghurt Dressing
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped of fresh mint
- salt and pepper, to taste
directions
- The day before serving, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over low heat. Add the onions and cook slowly until translucent, about 30 minutes. Drain any excess oil.
- Break the ground lamb up into a bowl. Add the onions, scallions, garlic, mint, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to serve, soak 16 six-inch wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. (This helps prevent the skewers from burning on the grill.) Preheat a grill (high heat).
- Divide the lamb mixture into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a 1-inch diameter log, approximately 3-inches long. Thread each piece lengthwise onto a skewer.
- Grill lamb to medium rare, turning once, about 5 minutes. Serve with Spicy Yogurt Dressing.
- To make the dressing: Mix the yogurt, cayenne, and mint in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature with the lamb skewers.

I live in Melbourne with my gorgeous husband Andy! We're both total foodies who love making and eating dishes of all sorts - I normally try at least 4 new recipes a week. We both do swing dancing and are totally obsessed with our two beautiful cats, Couscous (mine) and Moo(DH's). Couscous loves red wine and savoury food, while Moois addicted to frozen yoghurt and chocolate. It's a full time job trying to eat dinner in peace!
