Steps:
- Cut the lamb in 1 1/2-inch cubes. You should have about 40 cubes. Combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, red wine, vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Add the lamb cubes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days. Toss occasionally.
- Heat a charcoal grill with coals. Spread the coals in 1 tight layer on the grill.
- Cut the red onions in quarters and separate each quarter into 3 or 4 sections. Loosely thread 3 or 4 pieces of lamb alternately with sections of onion on skewers. Sprinkle both sides of the lamb with salt and pepper. Next place 4 or 5 cherry tomatoes on skewers, threading them through the stem of the tomato. Rub the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. First, place the lamb skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning 2 or 3 times, until the lamb is medium rare. Approximately 5 minutes before the lamb is done, place the tomato skewers on the grill, turning once, until seared on the outside but still firm inside.
- For the sauce, bring the chicken stock, olive oil, and lemon juice to a boil in a medium pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until reduced in half. Add the rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Serve the sauce on the side.
KA-BAM KABOBS MARINADE
This is my favorite steak marinade it's from Emeril Lagasse's recipe for Ka-Bam Kabobs. Is great just as a marinade for steaks on the grill or for kabobs too. It calls for Baby Bam Seasoning which I you can buy at the store or you can make it using Mermaidmagic's "Recipe #104844".

Let rest 3 minutes before serving.
KA-BAM KABOBS
Steps:
- Place the mushrooms in a large bowl of water and gently turn to remove any grit or dirt. Dry on a clean kitchen towel and set aside.
- Cut the onion in half. Cut each half into quarters, keeping the pieces together as much as possible. Remove the upper fourth of the bell pepper. Remove the stem end, inside ribs, and seeds. Cut the pepper into quarters crosswise, then into 1-inch pieces.
- Cut the meat into 1-inch pieces and place in a large glass bowl. Add the Baby Bam and toss to coat. Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, vegetable oil, and garlic, and stir to combine. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place the oven rack in the top position. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Remove the meat from the refrigerator. Thread 1 meat cube onto a skewer, followed by a mushroom, bell pepper, and onion. Continue threading alternating ingredients onto the skewer until the skewer is full. Place the filled skewers on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes for medium.
- Remove from the oven. With an oven mitt or tongs, hold one end of the skewer. In the other hand, with a fork, push the meat and vegetables from the skewer onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining skewers, and serve hot.
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine with a wooden spoon.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, in-season vegetables and tender, juicy meats will make a big difference.
- Cut your vegetables and meat into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Preheat your grill or oven to the desired temperature before cooking the kabobs.
- Cook the kabobs over medium-high heat until the vegetables are tender and the meat is cooked through.
- Baste the kabobs with your favorite sauce or marinade while they are cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the kabobs hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or salad.
