YIELD: 4 servings
ESTIMATED PREP TIME: 2 hours
ESTIMATED COOKING TIME: 8 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 lbs lamb, top round or boneless leg of lamb
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup red wine, such as Pinot Noir
• 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• Salt & pepper

PREPARATION

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 1 hour to prevent burning or use metal skewers. Trim lamb of any fat and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a ziplock bag and marinate the meat for 2 - 24 hours. Grill over medium hot coals until cooked to desired level of doneness (about 6 - 8 minutes). Kebabs can also be broiled in oven.

Serve with Round Barn Pinot Noir.
