Instructions

- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Cut vegetables into 1-inch pieces. Skewer lamb and vegetables, alternating as you like.
- Place kabobs directly over the heat, cooking for 6-7 minutes before flipping and cooking another 3-5 minutes.

Notes
- If using wood skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before adding the meats and veggies.
- Alternate lamb with vegetables for a pretty presentation and to make sure the juices from the meat flavors them.
- Don't overcook the kabobs, we cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (I remove them a couple of degrees early).
- Allow the lamb to marinate for at least 2 hours, longer is better as the marinade helps tenderize the meat.
- Store lamb kabobs by removing the meat and vegetables from the skewers and keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
