1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried mint
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 pounds leg of lamb -- boneless/trimmed

4 green onions (white part only) -- cut into eighteen
1-inch pieces
18 fresh mint leaves
1 lemon -- cut into wedges

Make marinade: Combine oil, lemon peel, lemon juice, garlic, mint,
salt and pepper in large bowl. Set aside.
Add meat, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or
overnight.
