                                1. In a small saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup. 2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the almonds, mint, onion, lemon juice, garlic and spices. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide into 24 pieces. Shape each piece into a 3-in. x 1-in. rectangle; insert onto soaked wooden appetizer skewers. 3. Broil 6 in. from the heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with sauce mixture and sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 2 dozen (1/2 cup sauce).                              |
