1 pound leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes |
3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons fresh mint |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3 garlic cloves |
2 (2-ounce) slices whole wheat nut bread (such as arnold health nut) |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients except cooking spray in a food processor; process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Divide meat mixture into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch rope. Insert an 8-inch skewer through center of each rope.
