LAMB WITH MINT CHIMICHURRI
Though far less glorified than rib chops or legs, lamb shoulder is explosively delicious and juicy. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for the stewing or braising that's requisite this times of year. But the shoulder's not that hardworking, which keeps it tender enough to be subjected to the shorter blasts of heat typically reserved for more elegant cuts.

LAMB AND FIG SKEWERS WITH HONEY AND ROSEMARY
This easy recipe bridges that strange period of cooking that falls at the end of summer, when there's a chill in the air, and grilling might require a sweater instead of a cold beer. Make sure your figs are very ripe, and allow the lamb several hours to marinate in the fridge.

Steps:
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. (You don't need to soak metal skewers. If you are broiling the kebabs instead of grilling, skewers are optional.)
- In a large bowl, toss together garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper and fish sauce, and stir well to dissolve the salt. Stir in oil.
- Thread the figs on skewers; if you are not using skewers, spread the figs on a baking sheet. Make sure the figs don't touch one another. Brush with some of the rosemary marinade and set the figs aside.
- Add lamb to the bowl with remaining marinade and toss well. If you have time, let lamb marinate in the fridge for several hours, or at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. Thread the lamb on skewers or spread on a baking sheet, leaving room between the pieces to get more of a char. Grill or broil kebabs for 3 to 5 minutes, turning them once. (If broiling, cook as close to the heating element as possible. You don't need to turn them.)
- Sprinkle lamb with fresh mint, then serve lamb and figs with lemon wedges.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh mint leaves. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute dried mint leaves, but use only half the amount.
- To make sure the lamb is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers, but be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the lamb skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce, mint sauce, or honey mustard.

Honey mint lamb skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The lamb is tender and juicy, and the honey mint marinade gives it a sweet and savory flavor.
