Lamb, Tomato, and Mint Kebabs

GOOD TO KNOW Kebabs are a good way to incorporate vegetables into from-the-grill dinners. They also allow you to use a small amount of a high-fat food, such as the chorizo in the pork kebabs, to maximum effect. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for thirty minutes before grilling.

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes
