DIRECTIONS:

Place ground lamb in a large mixing bowl.

Add onion, shallot, and fresh herbs to food processor and pulse until smooth (or finely mince by hand).

Combine meat, processed onion/herb mixture and spices into mixing bowl, and mix well. (I use my hands to incorporate everything really well)

Cover and chill the mixture for 1 hour

Shape the meat into small sausage shape onto wooden skewers.

Grill the keftas for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once.

Serve immediately with yogurt dressing.
