Ingredients: 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 4 teaspoons salt; 2 teaspoons pepper; 2 teaspoons lemon juice; 2 pounds boneless lamb, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes; 1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes; 6 small onions, cut into wedges; 2 medium sweet red peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces; 16 large fresh mushrooms; 6 pita breads (6 inches), cut into wedges

A lemon-olive oil marinade gives these tasty kabobs a nice tang. They’re great for summer parties. In bad weather and during the winter, we cook them in a 400-degree oven for 25 to 40 minutes. —Weda Mosellie, Phillipsburg, New Jersey

We didn't like the pieces of lamb as much as the beef but this recipe was delicious and a perfect Friday night dinner when mom's don't feel like spending the whole night cooking!
