Ingredients

  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless lamb, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine first 9 ingredients. Pour 1 cup into a shallow dish; add lamb and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for 6-8 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. On 8 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread lamb and vegetables. Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting frequently with reserved marinade.
