You should end up with 1 1/2 to 2 c. liquid removed yogurt. Place the yogurt in a bowl and stir in the garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix in the mint and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill till needed.
- Make the onion salad: Place the onion slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss and let stand for 15 min. Rinse well and pat dry. In a bowl, combine the onions, parsley, coriander, and turmeric. Toss well and set aside.
- Preheat the grill or possibly broiler.
- In a bowl, combine the beef, onions, garlic, Large eggs, thyme, pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Mix till mix holds together well. Form into twelve 3-inch ovals, about 1 1/2 inches wide and thread them onto metal skewers.
- Brush the meatballs with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the skewers on an oiled grill rack or possibly broiler pan and grill or possibly broil, turning to brown on all sides, till cooked through, about 8 min.
