Mint-Chile Sauce-----
1 c Plain yogurt
1 c Fresh mint
1/2 c Minced cilantro
1/2 Jalapeno chile -- minced
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Fresh ground pepper

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 diameter. Place
cornmeal on a plate and roll skewered meatball in cornmeal to coat
completely.

3. Brush broiler pan with a thin film of oil. Place meatball skewers 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.
