Moroccan Lamb Kabobs -

A magnificent sweet and spicy lamb recipe. You can increase cayenne and other spices to suit individual tastes. Serve in warm pita bread with mixed greens (try using some strongly flavored ones) and fresh herbs. Drizzle with a lemon and herb yogurt sauce or a tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients:

 2 pounds ground lamb
 1 cup raisins
 5 ounces goat cheese
 1/3 cup mayonnaise
 1 red onion, finely chopped
 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
 3/4 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
 salt to taste
 coarsely ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
In a medium bowl, mix together ground lamb, raisins, goat cheese, mayonnaise, red onion, garlic, cilantro, cayenne pepper, cumin, ground coriander, salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into approximately 6 even portions, and press around skewers.
Place skewers on the grill. Cook approximately 4 minutes per side, or until the cheese has melted, the raisins are tender and lamb has reached desired doneness.
