Ingredients

½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
1 bay leaf
2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 large onions, peeled, cut into 8 wedges each
2 large green bell peppers, cut into 8 wedges each
12 mushrooms, stems removed
2 large tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges

Steps:

Stir together olive oil, lemon juice, wine, and garlic; season with salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, and bay leaf. Toss lamb with marinade until evenly combined, then pour into a resealable plastic bag, and marinate in refrigerator at least 24 hours.
Position oven rack to its top setting and set oven to broil.
Remove lamb from marinade and thread onto metal skewers; reserve marinade. Thread onion wedges, green peppers, and mushrooms onto separate metal skewers. Brush vegetables with reserved marinade.
Broil the skewers on a broiler pan, turning frequently. Cook onions for 12 minutes, lamb for 10 minutes, green pepper for 7 minutes, and the mushrooms for 3 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool until cool enough to handle.
Remove skewers from ingredients and set aside. Reassemble skewers, alternating lamb, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Place onto broiler pan and brush again with marinade. Discard remaining marinade.
Broil skewers again to finish cooking, turning frequently until the lamb is medium-rare and the vegetables begin to blacken in spots, 5 to 7 minutes.

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 large garlic, peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon dry white wine
1 small bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large onions, peeled and cut into 8 wedges each
2 large green bell peppers, cut into 8 pieces each
12 medium mushrooms, stemmed and wiped clean

Steps:

Place lamb in a large container with a cover.
In a medium bowl mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, wine, bay leaf, salt, pepper, oregano, and rosemary.
Pour marinade over lamb cubes, stir thoroughly, and refrigerate,covered, at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
About 1 hour before serving time, preheat broiler.
Drain lamb kebabs, reserving marinade.
Thread separate skewers of lamb, onion, green pepper, and mushrooms and place on a broiling tray.
Baste vegetables with some of reserved marinade.
Broil about 4 inches from heat, turning frequently, as follows: green pepper, about 7 minutes; onions, about 12 minutes; mushrooms, about 3 minutes.
Remove skewers and allow to cool slightly, until ingredients and skewers can be handled.
Leave broiler on.
Remove skewers from ingredients and rethread 4 or 8 skewers (depending on size of skewers) so that each one includes, in alternating pieces, some lamb, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and tomato.
Baste again with any remaining marinade.
Return skewers to broiler and, turning frequently, broil until meat is reheated and cooked medium-rare, vegetables are slightly blackened in spots, and tomatoes are very tender but not yet falling off skewers (5 to 7 minutes more).
Serve with Rice Pilaf and Pita Bread.
