This colorful kabob wouldn't be the same without its delicious herb marinade and tender-crisp vegetables. Together, they add delicious flavor and texture to the lamb pieces. This recipe was submitted by Janet Dingler from Cedartown, Georgia.

Ingredients

1 cup canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried marjoram
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds boneless lamb
1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Pour 1 cup into a shallow dish; add lamb and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for 6-8 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread lamb and vegetables. Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness(for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting frequently with reserved marinade.

I replaced the lamb with pork tenderloin, excellent recipe. I also broiled these for about ten minute per side, stayed tender and just the right amount of charing.

Would agree with the prev. reviewer...the marinade for this recipe was great! I did make it with lamb, but it was a bit pricey...next time I will try pork, but the marinade would be great on anything.
