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

1
The day before serving, heat the olive oil in a saute pan over low heat. Add the onions and cook slowly until translucent, about 30 minutes. Drain any excess oil.
2
Break the ground lamb up into a bowl. Add the onions, scallions, garlic, mint, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3
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).
4
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.
5
Grill lamb to medium rare, turning once, about 5 minutes. Serve with Spicy Yogurt Dressing.
6
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.
