Steps

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes if using. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
2. Grate the onion and squeeze out the excess liquid with your hands or a paper towel, so the meat holds together.
3. In a bowl, combine the lamb, grated onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands just until blended, about 1 minute.
4. Divide into 8 portions. Press each around a skewer into a long sausage shape, roughly 5 inches, squeezing firmly so it grips the skewer.
5. Lightly oil the grill grates. Lay the skewers down and grill 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning once, until charred outside and cooked through (160F internal).
6. Rest 2 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges.
