2. In a large bowl, combine all the kebab ingredients and mix well.
3. Roll the mixture into 30 to 35 sausage-like shapes about 2 to 3 inches long and place on cookie sheets.
4. Place one skewer into the end of each lamb roll and broil or grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, turning once, until cooked through.
