8 Bamboo skewers
1/4 cup Onion (grated)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
1 tsp Cumin
1 1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
2 lbs Ground lamb

INSTRUCTIONS

Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Pat dry.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the lamb. Add the lamb and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
Divide the meat into 16 sections. Mold each section of meat around a bamboo skewer, making it a few inches long and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. You’ll fit 2 sections of meat per skewer, about 1-2 inches apart.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 3-5 more minutes, to desired level of doneness. Time on the second side will be about 2 minutes for medium rare, 3 minutes for medium, 4 minutes for medium-well and 5 minutes for well done.
