MINTCHILE SAUCE

1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup fresh mint
1/2 cup minced cilantro
1/2 jalapeno chile -- minced
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper

Instructions:

1. Soak skewers in water 15 minutes. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix
together ground lamb, onion, garlic, parsley, minced chile, bread
crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper.

2. Preheat broiler. Wrap 1/3 cup lamb mixture around each bamboo
skewer to form a meatball about 3 inches long by 1-1/2 inches in

cornmeal to coat completely.

on broiler pan and broil 3 inches from heat until lightly browned on
one side (about 3 minutes). Turn and broil second side until lightly
browned (about
2 minutes).

4. To serve, place couscous on individual dinner plates, top with 2
meatballs on skewers, and drizzle with Mint-Chile Sauce.

Mint-Chile Sauce: In a small bowl stir together all ingredients. Let
sit 30 minutes for flavors to meld.

Makes about 2 cups.
