Steps:
- Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare a hot charcoal grill
- Add the garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice, oil salt and pepper to a 8x8 dish and whisk to combine. Add the lamb chunks and toss to coat completely. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. When the lamb is well marinated, thread the chunks of meat onto the bamboo skewers, brush the lamb skewers with additional olive oil and transfer them to the hot grill when it is ready. Cook for 5 minutes and turn the skewers. Continue to cook and turn every 5 minutes until done to your likeness, about 12-15 minutes for medium-rare.
- Add the garlic to a small food processor and process until finely minced, stop the machine and add the egg yolks, mustard, salt and pepper. Process for 30 seconds. With the motor still running, slowly, add the oil and as the mixture starts thickening, add the oil a little more quickly and continue processing until all the oil is incorporated.

Steps:
- Cut the lamb into 1 to 1 1/2 -inch cubes or pieces and put them in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, combine the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Cover and run the processor until everything is finely chopped (you should end up with a thick onion marinade).
- Pour the onion marinade over the lamb and mix well to make sure all the lamb is well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (If you do not have time, leave the kabobs to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes).
- Brush the grates of a gas grill (or an indoor griddle) with oil and heat.
- Shake excess marinade off and thread the lamb pieces on some long skewers, allowing a little room between pieces (I used 6 wooden skewers that have been soaked in water).
- Assemble the lamb kabobs in one single layer over your heated grill or griddle. Grill over high heat, turning each kabob one-quarter turn every couple minutes, until the meat is browned all over, anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes, depending on how well you like your lamb cooked (7 minutes on my grill produced medium-rare kabobs).

BARBECUED LAMB KABOBS
This is a dowry recipe I brought with me from western Pennsylvania. To fully enjoy this dish, just serve it as a snack or appetizer with some hot bread and a beverage. It's nice to serve at parties, and I like it as a late-night snack, too! It can be made the day before, and it also freezes well.

Steps:
- Strip the rosemary leaves from the sticks, leaving a few on each tip. Smash the leaves, using a mortar and pestle, with the garlic, some sea salt and 3 tbsp olive oil to make a paste.
- Make up skewers using the rosemary sticks. Thread one piece of folded pancetta onto each stick, then one sage leaf and one piece of lamb. Repeat so there are four pieces of lamb on each skewer (or 2-3 pieces if your skewers are shorter) and end with pancetta and sage. Spread the rosemary and garlic paste over the lamb and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes. You can prepare up to this stage the day before and keep covered in the fridge.
- Grill the lamb over a medium heat on the barbecue for 10-15 minutes for medium/rare meat. Toast the slices of bread during the last few minutes and then lightly rub both sides with the whole garlic clove and drizzle with a little olive oil. Squeeze lemon juice over the lamb just before serving.
