Ground beef and lamb skewers seasoned with cumin, cinnamon and paprika, chargrilled on a hot grill and boosted with folded-in feta and a soft egg for extra protein.

Instructions
1
Prep
Combine ground beef, ground lamb, egg, feta, 2 cloves garlic, onion, parsley, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper in a bowl; mix by hand until evenly combined and slightly tacky.
2
Chill
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes until firm enough to hold shape on the skewers.
3
Build
Divide mixture into 2 portions and mold each around a metal skewer into a 6 inch log, pressing firmly so it grips and doesn't slide.
4
Grill
Brush grill with olive oil and cook skewers over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until charred and cooked through.
5
Finish
Stir grated garlic and mint into yogurt until streaked through, then slide skewers onto plate alongside chickpea salad and yogurt dollop.
