Ingredients

Kabobs

8 lamb chops cubed
4 Roma tomatoes cut into thirds
1 cup green olives pitted
1 14 oz. can artichoke hearts drained
bamboo skewers

Marinade

1/3 cup red wine
4 cloves garlic peeled
1 shallot peeled and chopped
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate lamb cubes overnight or for at least 4 hours (see recipe). Presoak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes, to prevent burning on the grill.
Place lamb cubes in a large zipper-topped plastic bag. Prepare marinade: In a blender or food processor, place marinade ingredients; blend until smooth then pour mixture over lamb cubes. Seal the bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
At time of cooking, preheat grill to MEDIUM-HIGH. Alternately thread lamb cubes, tomatoes, olives and artichoke hearts onto prepared skewers; grill kabobs for 5 to 8 minutes per side or until cooked to desired level of doneness.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve kabobs over Cauli-Rice (process cauliflower in a blender or food processor until it resembles grains of rice; steam “rice” till tender; drain; salt and pepper to taste and fluff with a fork). Add a salad of mixed baby greens, sliced red onion, avocado and cucumber, tossed with Leanne’s Basic Vinaigrette.
