Ingredients

30 garlic cloves, crushed (1-1/2 to 2 bulbs)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup chopped fresh mint or 1/4 cup dried mint
1/4 cup Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
2 pounds lean boneless lamb, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
PILAF:

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the garlic, vinegar, mint and oil; add lamb. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
For pilaf, in a large skillet, melt butter. Add onion and pasta; saute until pasta is lightly browned. Add bulgur and stir to coat. Stir in broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Drain and discard marinade. Thread onto six metal or soaked wooden skewers.
Grill kabobs, covered, over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness, turning frequently. Serve with pilaf. Yield: 6 servings.
