Shish Kabob

Date: 12/04/19

(Serves 8)

Savory shish kabob (lamb or mutton meat on a spit or skewer) has its origins in the Middle East where it was first cooked over an open fire. This dish is as simple to make in the oven as it is on the grill. Plant it on a platter of brown or wild rice, or another whole grain, and you’ve got dinner! Each kabob, with a 3 oz. serving each of meat, is just 274 calories, with 16 g carbohydrates, 75 mg cholesterol, 12 g fat, 3 g fiber, 728 mg potassium, and 26 g protein.

Ingredients:

2 tbsps. olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup red wine
1 lemon (juice only)
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. rosemary
1/8 tsp. black pepper
2 lbs. lean lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes*
24 cherry tomatoes
24 mushrooms
24 small onions

Combine oil, broth, wine, lemon juice, garlic, salt, rosemary, and pepper. Pour over lamb, tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions. Marinate in refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Build the skewers with each of the four items (or other favorite veggies*), alternating as you wish. Broil three inches from heat for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.

*Tip: Lean lamb shoulder chops yield the most meat and are less expensive. You might also find pre-cut lamb cubes. Lean beef can also be used, but substitutions (including use of different vegetables) may alter nutritional content.
