Prep 15 min · Cook 10 min

Soak two wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Finely mince the red onion and garlic.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced red onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, sea salt, and black pepper using your hands until well incorporated.
Divide the lamb mixture into two portions and mold each into a long, uniform oval shape around the soaked skewers.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease with a high-heat oil spray if necessary.
While the grill heats, whisk together the Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh mint, and lemon juice in a small bowl to create the sauce.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked through and has developed a nice charred exterior.
Slice the cucumber into rounds and serve alongside the hot skewers with a generous dollop of the mint yogurt sauce.
