If using wooden skewers soak in water overnight. In a skillet heat butter and add in the onion. Saute/fry about 2 min till slightly golden brown. Remove and set aside. Heat the barbecue on medium high. Alternately thread lamb and onion pcs onto skewers, ending with 4 skewers. Grill skewers 3 to 4 min per side till lamb is cooked to your likeness. Serve with Kumquat Cucumber Salad.
  2. Kumquat Cucumber Salad:Cut the red onion in half. Thinly slice each half on a mandolin. Soak onion slices in lemon juice. Cut cucumber into small dice. Place cucumber pcs in a colander. Salt the cucumber and let sit for 30 min to remove excess moisture. Combine the onion, cucumber, kumquats, and herbs in a non-reactive bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients and set aside. Toss the salad with the dressing and put a mound on two plates. Place 2 lamb skewers on each mound and garnish with minced mint.
