Ingredients

• For the Lamb:
• 1 lb. ground lamb
• 4 tbsp. bread crumbs, mixed with 1/2 cup water
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• For the Dipping Sauce:
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cucumber, finely diced
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh mint or parsley
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

1. Heat a grill or the broiler. Mix together all the ingredients for the lamb but the olive oil with your hands. Form the mixture into flattened ovals about the size and thickness of small hamburger patties.

2. Insert skewers and brush the patties with the oil. Grill or broil them for about 4-5 minutes per side.

3. Whisk together the dipping-sauce ingredients. Serve with the footballs.
