Herbed Lamb, Tomato, and Zucchini Kebabs image

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large garlic clove
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 (2-lb) piece trimmed boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
3 medium zucchini (1 1/2 lb total)
24 large cherry tomatoes (3/4 lb total)
Special Equipment
16 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in warm water 1 hour

Steps:

  • Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using a large heavy knife.
  • Whisk together garlic paste, lemon juice, and pepper in a large bowl, then whisk in oil, thyme, and rosemary until combined well. Put lamb in a large sealable bag, then add 3/4 cup herb marinade and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate lamb, chilled, at least 6 hours or up to 8. Reserve remaining marinade, covered and chilled.
  • About an hour before grilling, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut diagonally crosswise, alternating direction with each cut, to create triangle shapes. Put zucchini in another large sealable bag, then pour reserved marinade over zucchini and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate zucchini at room temperature 1 hour. (Marinating zucchini any longer will result in a mushy texture.)
  • Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderately high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure
  • While grill is heating, drain lamb, discarding marinade, then thread cubes 1/4 inch apart onto 8 skewers.
  • Transfer zucchini to a bowl, reserving marinade, and thread zucchini onto 4 skewers (without lamb). Thread tomatoes onto remaining 4 skewers.
  • Lightly oil grill rack and grill kebabs (covered only if using gas grill), turning occasionally, until tomatoes are softened but not falling apart, 2 to 3 minutes; zucchini is tender, 4 to 6 minutes; and lamb is medium-rare, about 6 minutes. Serve kebabs drizzled with reserved marinade (from zucchini).

These kebabs were a waste of time and money. The lamb was dry and the vegetables were mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the kebabs didn't turn out well. The lamb was tough and the vegetables were undercooked.

These kebabs were not bad, but they weren't great either. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The lamb was a bit tough, but the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I think I would use a different cut of lamb next time.

These kebabs were a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I would add more oil next time.
