		Grilled Lamb Skewers with Spicy Yogurt Dressing 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, finely diced 1 pound ground lamb 2 scallions (white part only), minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 16 wooden skewers 1 cup yogurt dressing 2 cups plain yogurt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint Salt and pepper 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. 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 yogurt dressing. Serves 4. 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.
