Ellayne Sapienza
2 pounds lean lamb, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sherry
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons oregano
6 cloves garlic, crushed
Use any combination or all of the following vegetables
2 firm tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 large onions, cut into wedges, or 24 small boiling onions
2 large green peppers, cut into squares
1 pound whole mushrooms
2 cups Italian salad dressing, any kind
Cut up the vegetables and marinate in the salad dressing for about 1/2 hour before cooking the shish kebab.
Place the cubes of meat between the mushrooms and pieces of tomatoes, onions, peppers and mushrooms on skewers. Or if you prefer, you can skewer the meat and the vegetables separately. Place the skewers on a broiler pan and broil slowly, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn frequently and baste with the marinade while broiling. You can also cook the shish kebab on the barbecue grill.
