| 1. In a food processor or blender, reduce the onion to a thick, watery pulp. | 2. Remove it to piece of double cheesecloth or strong paper towels, and squeeze out all of the juice into a bowl large enough to hold the meat. | 3. Add the oil, cinnamon, salt, pepper and lamb to the onion juice. Cover and marinate the lamb as long as possible, preferably overnight. | 4. Preheat oven to 375. Put the beets on the middle oven rack and roast them for about 1 ½ hours or until they shrink and the skins shrivel. | 5. Allow them to cool enough to be handled and snip off the root. The skins will slip off easily by hand. | 6. Slice the beats thickly, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle generously with balsamic vinegar. Refrigerate. | 7. If you are using dried figs, cover them with orange juice and add 2 slices of lime. Cover and microwave on high for 30 seconds. | 8. Allow them to stand long enough to become infused with the citrus and soft enough to be skewered. Drain and cut them in half crosswise. | 9. Drizzle them with balsamic vinegar. | 10. If you are using fresh figs, omit the citrus soak and simply cut them in half and dress with balsamic vinegar. | 11. Thread the skewers, starting and ending with the lamb. | 12. Fasten a slice of beet against the cut side of each fig half. | 13. Cook the kabobs on a grill for 10 minutes. Serve immediately garnished with mint sprigs. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
