Grilled Lamb Kebabs

Dish Info

Growing up, the only meats that we ate were chicken, beef, and pork. It wasn't until my early 30's that I finally broadened my horizons at my husbands urging and started cooking lamb. It was love at first bite! These Grilled Lamb Kebabs deserve to be a rest-of-summer habit. With briny olives and full flavored seasonings that give a punchy vibrant flavor, this recipe works just as well for a family meal as it does for your next grill out with a crowd!
