Lamb Kabobs

6 Servings

6 12-inch bamboo skewers
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped mint
3 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, (optional)
2 pounds lamb kabobs, cut into 24 1 1/2 cubes
1 red onion, cut into 12 wedges
9 ounces artichoke hearts
24 cherry tomatoes

Soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes before using. In a bowl, combine cider vinegar, olive oil, mint, rosemary, garlic, honey, chopped onion, salt and pepper and stir to mix well. Add lamb and turn to evenly coat all pieces. Cover and let stand 3 to 4 hours in refrigerator. Turn meat occasionally while marinating. Drain meat, reserving marinade. Place marinade in a saucepan over medium-high and cook to boiling. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Preheat grill. Separate each red onion wedge vertically into two parts, making 24 wedges. Separate artichoke hearts into 24 pieces. For each kabob thread a skewer as follows: 1 piece onion, 1 meat cube, 1 artichoke, 1 tomato. Repeat three times. Follow same sequence for remaining skewers. Grill over hot coals 12 to 15 minutes, or until meat reaches desired degree of doneness. Baste frequently with hot marinade.
