Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, minced onion, minced garlic, minced parsley, minced jalapeño, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix ingredients thoroughly until just combined.
  4. Preheat the broiler.
  5. Take about 1/3 cup of the lamb mixture and wrap it around each soaked bamboo skewer to form a meatball approximately 3 inches long by 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
  6. Place cornmeal on a plate and roll each skewered meatball in the cornmeal to coat completely.
  7. Brush a broiler pan with a thin film of oil.
  8. Place meatball skewers on the broiler pan and broil 3 inches from the heat source until lightly browned on one side, about 3 minutes.
  9. Turn skewers and broil the second side until lightly browned, about 2 minutes more.
  10. Serve meatballs over couscous or rice, drizzled with Mint-Chile Sauce.
