Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 400 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 30 grams, chopped
• Fresh mint - 15 grams, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Skewers - 4 wooden or metal

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, chopped red onion, parsley, mint, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture, and mix again until combined.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. While the mixture is chilling, soak wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes if using, to prevent burning on the grill.
5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Form the lamb mixture into oval-shaped meatballs and thread them onto the skewers, about 3-4 meatballs per skewer.
7. Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred.
8. Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
