Enjoy Turk/Russian style shashlik, marinated skewered lamb, grilled to perfection and combined with grilled vegetables.

1. In a bowl, combine lamb, olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, salt, and red pepper. Allow to marinate at least 2 to 3 h prior to cooking.

2. Place marinated beef on skewers (about 6 cubes per skewer). Be sure to apply a light coat of oil on the skewer prior to threading the meat.

3. Place vegetables on separate skewers, alternating type of vegetable. The meat and veggies are cooked on different skewers because the meat will take longer to grill.

4. Cook lamb shashlik skewers on the grill or under the broiler for 10 to 12 min, or until desired doneness. Turn to ensure even cooking.

5. Grill vegetable skewers for last 5 min of grilling. Turn. The vegetables should be crisp, yet tender. Be careful not to overcook.

Enjoy!
