Preparation
Step 1
Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
Step 2
While grill is heating, mince garlic, then mash to a paste with salt and pepper using a large heavy knife. Reserve half of garlic paste in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
Whisk together remaining garlic paste and 2 tablespoons olive oil in another large bowl, then add lamb and toss to coat.
Step 4
Divide lamb among skewers, leaving a little space between pieces (for even cooking).
Step 5
Whisk vinegar into reserved garlic paste, then add remaining 1/4 cup oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add beans, celery, olives, pine nuts, and mint, then toss to coat.
Step 6
Grill lamb, turning as grill marks appear on each side, about 6 minutes total for medium-rare. Serve with bean salad.
